ACFS Tutorial

Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (Oracle ACFS) is a scalable file system that extends Oracle ASM functionality to support various customer files. The document outlines a step-by-step process for creating and managing an ACFS, including disk listing, disk creation, disk group creation, volume creation, and file system registration. It provides specific commands and SQL queries to execute at each step for successful implementation.

Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (Oracle ACFS) is a multi-platform,

scalable file system, and storage management technology that extends Oracle Automatic Storage
Management (Oracle ASM) functionality to support customer files maintained outside of Oracle
Database. Oracle ACFS supports many database and application files, including executables,
database trace files, database alert logs, application reports, BFILEs, and configuration files. Other
supported files are video, audio, text, images, engineering drawings, and other general-purpose
application file data.

Step 1: List the disks using the below command.


#oracleasm listdisks

Step 2: Create the oracleasm disk using the below command.


#oracleasm createdisk ARCH03 /dev/mapper/DISK014_ARCH_4T1

Step 3: Scan the disks using the below command on the other
node.
#oracleasm scandisks
Step 4: Verify the header status of the path is provisioned using
the below query.
select path, group_number group_#, disk_number disk_#,
mount_status,header_status, state, total_mb, free_mb from
v$asm_disk order by group_number;

Step 5: Find the compatible values for the asm attributes using
the below query.
SELECT NAME,VALUE,GROUP_NUMBER FROM v$asm_attribute
where name like ‘%com%’;
[Link] [Link].0 1

[Link] [Link].0 1

[Link] [Link].0 1

Step 6: Create the diskgroup for the acfs filesystem using the
below command.
CREATE DISKGROUP FRA EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY DISK
‘/dev/oracleasm/disks/ARCH03’ NAME FRA_01 ATTRIBUTE
‘[Link]’ = ‘[Link].0’,
‘[Link]’=’[Link].0’ ,
‘[Link]’ = ‘[Link].0’;
Step 7: Verify the diskgroup has been created using the below
query.
SELECT name, free_mb, total_mb,
((total_mb-free_mb)/total_mb)*100 as “USED %”,
free_mb/total_mb*100 “FREE%” from v$asm_diskgroup order by
1;

Step 8: Mount the diskgroup using the below command.


ALTER DISKGROUP FRA MOUNT;

Step 9: Create the volume using the below command and verify
the created volume information using the below command.
volcreate -G FRA -s 4000G acfsarch
volinfo -G FRA acfsarch
Step 10: Create the acfs file system
mkfs -t acfs -f /dev/asm/acfsarch-243

Step 11: Create a directory from the root user and provide the
required privilege (in both nodes)
mkdir -p /acfsarch
chown oracle:oinstall /acfsarch

Step 12: Register the file system using the below command from
the root user and verify the file system on both the nodes.
/sbin/acfsutil registry -a /dev/asm/acfsarch-243 /acfsarch -u
oracle
df -h /acfsarch
