2.6.3 Oracle ASM Cluster File System (Oracle ACFS) Known Bugs

These are the Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) Cluster File System (Oracle ACFS) bugs in Oracle Database 18c.

2.6.3.1 Bug 24501993

Use Case 1:

Security, encryption, and auditing are already enabled on the file system, and snap-based replication needs to be initialized with the specified tags. If replication is enabled for the specified tags and security, encryption and auditing are also enabled, and if the security directory is not tagged with one of the specified tags, then replication fails.

Use Case 2:

Replication is initialized with the specified tags, and security, encryption and auditing need to be initialized. If snap-based replication is initialized with tags that do not replicate the files in the security directory, then an attempt to enable security, encryption, and auditing fails.

Workaround for Use Case 1:

Tag the security directory with the one of the specified tags for the replication.

Workaround for Use Case 2:

  1. Pause the replication.

  2. Enable security, encryption, and auditing and add a tag that is specified for the replication to the security directory recursively running as Oracle ACFS Security administrator.

  3. Resume the replication.

2.6.3.2 Bug 24509867

If Oracle ACFS security, encryption, or auditing are enabled and if a user creates a snapshot and directly invokes acfsutil snap dup create or acfsutil snap dup apply to apply the snapshot, then the apply command fails even though no error is reported.

Workaround:

Do not enable Oracle ACFS security, encryption, or auditing if you are directly running the following command acfsutil snap dup create or acfsutil snap dup apply.
