Accessing an Oracle ACFS File System on a Different Node in the Cluster

If the node is part of a cluster, perform the following steps on node 2 to view the test file you created on node 1.

Note:

If the file system has been registered with the Oracle ACFS mount registry, you can skip steps 1 to 3.

  1. Enable the volume that was previously created and enabled on node 1.

    Start ASMCMD connected to the Oracle ASM instance. You must be a user in the OSASM operating system group. See "About Privileges for Oracle ASM".

    For example:

    ASMCMD [+] > volenable -G data volume1

    See Managing Oracle ADVM with ASMCMD .

  2. View information about the volume that you created on node 1.

    For example:

    ASMCMD [+] > volinfo -G data volume1

    See Managing Oracle ADVM with ASMCMD .

  3. Mount the file system using the Oracle ACFS mount command.

    For example:

    # /bin/mount -t acfs /dev/asm/volume1-123 /acfsmounts/acfs1

    See "mount" (Linux environments) or "acfsmountvol" (Windows). The root privilege is required run the mount command and the Windows Administrator privilege is required to run the acfsmountvol command.

    After the file system has been mounted, ensure that the permissions are set to allow access for the appropriate users.

  4. List the contents of the test file you previously created on the file system.

    For example:

    $ cat /acfsmounts/acfs1/myfile
Oracle ACFS File System

    The contents should match the file created previously on node 1.
