How to Use the Cluster File System

Create and mount the cluster file system.

See Creating Cluster File Systems in Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS for information about how to create and mount the cluster file system.

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 mountpoint.

File Type	Options
Oracle RDBMS binary files	`global`, `logging`
Oracle CRS binary files	`global`, `logging`
Oracle configuration files	`global`, `logging`
System parameter file (`SPFILE`)	`global`, `logging`
Alert files	`global`, `logging`
Trace files	`global`, `logging`
Archived redo log files	`global`, `logging`, `forcedirectio`
Flashback log files	`global`, `logging`, `forcedirectio`
OCR files	`global`, `logging`, `forcedirectio`
Oracle CRS voting disk	`global`, `logging`, `forcedirectio`

Ensure that all other storage management schemes that you are using for Oracle files are installed.

After all storage management schemes that you are using for Oracle files are installed, go to Registering and Configuring the RAC Framework Resource Group.
