Parameters

File Attribute Differences

• -fileattr start
  Takes a file attributes snapshot of discovered directories and stores the snapshot in the output directory. By default, the tool takes a snapshot of the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home and all installed database homes. If the user does not own a particular directory, the tool does not take a snapshot of that directory.

• -fileattr remove
  Removes the file attribute snapshots and related files.
• -fileattr [start|check] -includedir directories
  Includes the directories specified at the command line when checking file attributes.

  For example:

  orachk -fileattr start -includedir "/root/home,/etc"

  orachk -fileattr check -includedir "/root/home,/etc"

• -fileattr [start|check] -excludediscovery
  Excludes the discovered directories.

  For example:

  orachk -fileattr start -includedir "/root/home,/etc" -excludediscovery

• -fileattr check -baseline baseline_snapshot_path
  Specifies the baseline snapshot to use for comparison.

  For example:

  orachk -fileattr check -baseline "/tmp/Snapshot"
