Carving out ACFS partition from ASM Disk Group - X7 ODA

Hi

we recently carved out an ACFS partition on one of our X7 ODA

The steps were below

Step # 1 - Create a directory

# mkdir /staging

Step # 2 - Log on as GRID user and create a VOLUME

[grid~]$asmca -silent -createVolume -volumeName staging_fs -volumeDiskGroup DATA -volumeSizeGB 500

[INFO] [DBT-30079] Volume staging_fs created successfully.

[grid@tpcqorax701 ~]$ ls /dev/asm

commonstore-402  staging_fs-402

Step # 3 - Log on as GRID user and create a ACFS File System

[grid ~]$ asmca -silent -createACFS -acfsVolumeDevice /dev/asm/staging_fs-402 -acfsMountPoint /staging

[INFO] [DBT-30092] ASM Cluster File System created on /dev/asm/staging_fs-402 successfully.

[INFO] Run the generated ACFS registration script /u01/app/grid/cfgtoollogs/asmca/scripts/acfs_script.sh as privileged user to register the ACFS with Grid Infrastructure and to mount the ACFS. The ACFS registration script needs to be run only on this node: tpcqorax701.
