Oracle Linux Storage Appliance Image

End of Life (EOL)

The Oracle Linux Storage Appliance provides a fast and easy way to build a shared storage system on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. It enables you to export files by using the protocols Network File System (NFS) v3 and v4, and Windows Server Message Block (SMB) v3 (Samba).

Important

Oracle Linux 7 Premier Support ended December 31, 2024, and Oracle Linux Storage Appliance is no longer supported.

If you already have Oracle Linux Storage Appliance in your compute instance, there will be no changes to your instance. If you want to continue using NFS and Samba with your Oracle Linux instance, see Working with NFS and Samba Shares.

To view archived Oracle Linux Storage Appliance documentation, in PDF format, install the linux-storage-manager RPM package through Oracle Developer Channels, and navigate to /usr/share/doc/linux-storage-manager-version.
