4.2 Enabling Access from the Virtual Machine to External File Systems

You can configure the virtual machine created by using Oracle JRockit Virtual Edition to access a shared storage location that is external to the virtual machine. For example, you can specify an NFS mount point through which the Java application in the virtual machine (say, WebLogic Server) can access files that are shared at an external storage location.

You can configure mount points in the virtual machine by using the -r option of the Image Tool. For more information, see Appendix A, "Image Tool Command-Line Option Reference."

Note:

File locking is not available in the current release. So the virtual image could, for example, read a file from a shared storage location while another process is concurrently writing to the same file, leading to problems.
