Shared storage for dump file in cluster environment
Hello,
I got an instruction from the other IT department regarding creating production dump in order to import it later into our test database. However, the source environment is a standalone server and my is RAC 12c so I'm not sure whether the manual applies here. I found the information that to use data pump in an Oracle RAC configuration, we must ensure that the directory object path is on a cluster-wide file system (the directory object must point to shared physical storage that is visible and accessible from all instances. Currently my DATA_PUMP_DIR points at each node's local storage (/oracle/xxx/12.1.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/log).
