ASM Cluster File System is used to store Oracle Database home, Oracle Database files, non-database files such as executables, Oracle trace files, alert logs, application configuration files and so on. ASM Cluster File System can be created as Cluster File System or as a Node Local File System.
The following table describes the fields in the Create ASM Cluster File System page.
Element | Description |
---|---|
Type of ACFS | Can be Cluster File System or Node Local File System.
Cluster File System can be used for Oracle Database home install or database files. A Cluster File System uses a single volume. Node Local File System can be used for application files or Oracle trace and alert logs. A Node Local File System needs one volume for each node in the cluster. |
Mount Point | Mount point where the ACFS created will be mounted. |
Auto Mount | Select this option if the ACFS should be mounted when node reboots. |
Mount Options | Operating system-specific mount options used when ACFS is mounted. |
User Name | User who owns the ACFS mount point. |
Group Name | Group to which the user who owns the ACFS mount point belongs. |
Description | Description of the ACFS created. |
Application Identifier | This field is applicable only for node local file system. The application identifier helps in grouping the node local file system. |
Volume | Select the volume from the drop down list, on which you want to create the ASM Cluster File System. If there are no volumes, or if you want to create a new volume, use the Create Volume functionality in the Volumes tab. |
Click Show Command to view the command to create the ASM Cluster file system.
Note: For all UNIX operating systems, ASMCA will create a script that should be run as a privileged user. The script registers the ACFS with Oracle Grid Infrastructure as a managed resource.
