Requirements for Using the Sun StorEdge QFS Shared File System

You can store all of the files that are associated with Oracle Real Application Clusters on the Sun StorEdge QFS shared file system.

Distribute these files among several file systems as follows:

• Create one file system in the cluster to store these files:

  • Oracle binary files

  • Oracle configuration files (for example, init.ora, tnsnames.ora, listener.ora, and sqlnet.ora)

  • Alert files (for example, alert_sid.log)

  • Trace files (*.trc)

• Create one file system for each database to store these files for all Oracle Real Application Clusters instances of the database:

  • Data files

  • Control files

  • Online redo log files

  • Archived redo log files
