How to Use the Cluster File System

1. Create and mount the cluster file system.

   See “Configuring the Cluster” in Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS for information about how to create and mount the cluster file system.

2. If you are using the UNIX file system (UFS), ensure that you specify the correct mount options for various types of Oracle files.

   For the correct options, see the table that follows. You set these options when you add an entry to the /etc/vfstab file for the mount point.

   File Type	Options
   Archived redo log files	global, logging, forcedirectio
   Oracle application binary files, configuration files, alert files, and trace files	global, logging

Where to Go From Here

Go to Creating Node-Specific Files and Directories for a Shared File System to create node-specific files and directories that the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters software requires.
