OCM 12c Preparation - Create ACFS

ACFS is now renamed to Oracle CloudFS.

Oracle ACFS files systems are typically configured for clusterwide access. File systems, files, and directories are visible and accessible from all cluster members and can be referenced by users and applications using the same path names from any cluster member.

This is a good way to also implement a unique Oracle Database Home shared in your envs.

For this topic I recommend you to create, register, and mount an ACFS file system for general use. Check that acfs modules that are loaded for ACFS. Also create, use, and manage ACFS snapshots.

There are multiple ways for creating a Volume and ACFS:

  • Enterprise Manager
  • asmcmd
  • asmca (Preferable for me)
  • SQLPlus
  • acfsutils registry

Also, create an snapshot and restore some files after you "accidentally" deleted or changed it.
