Acfs Mount and Unmount: 2.6 Unmounting ACFS File Systems

This document provides instructions for unmounting and mounting Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (ACFS) file systems. It describes stopping processes using ACFS files, unmounting ACFS file systems using commands like acfsutil and umount, and mounting ACFS file systems using commands like acfsutil and mount. It provides separate instructions for ACFS systems used by Oracle Database versus general purpose file systems.

2.6 Unmounting ACFS File Systems


ACFS file systems can be used by Oracle RAC for hosting software files for the database. It
can also be used as a general purpose file system for non-database files. The ACFS file
system is managed and administered by the Oracle GRID Infrastructure. So ACFS file
systems will be impacted when shutting down the GI stack for patching GI homes.

Shut down the processes using the software files on ACFS and then unmount the ACFS file
system.

Note:

Make sure to stop the non-Oracle processes that use ACFS file systems.

If the ACFS file system is used by Oracle database software, then perform Steps 1 and 2.

1. Execute the following command to find the names of the CRS managed ACFS file
system resource.

# crsctl stat res -w "TYPE = ora.acfs.type" -p | grep VOLUME

2. Execute the following command to stop the CRS managed ACFS file system resource
with the resource name found from Step 1.
As root user execute:

# srvctl stop filesystem -d <volume device path> -n <node to stop file system on>

If the ACFS file system is not used for Oracle Database software and is registered in the
ACFS registry, perform the following steps.

1. Execute the following command to find all ACFS file system mount points.
As the root user execute:

# /sbin/acfsutil registry

1/3
2. Unmount ACFS file systems found in Step 1.
As the root user execute:

# /bin/umount <mount-point>

Note:

On Solaris operating system use: /sbin/umount .

On AIX operating system, use: /etc/umount .

3. Verify that the ACFS file systems are unmounted. Execute the following command to
verify.
As the root user execute:

# /sbin/acfsutil info fs

The previous command should return the following message if there is no ACFS file
systems mounted.

"acfsutil info fs: ACFS-03036: no mounted ACFS file systems"

2.7 Mounting ACFS File Systems


If the ACFS file system is used by Oracle database software, then perform Steps 1 and 2.

1. Execute the following command to find the names of the CRS managed ACFS file
system resource.
As root user execute:

# crsctl stat res -w "TYPE = ora.acfs.type" -p | grep VOLUME

2. Execute the following command to start and mount the CRS managed ACFS file
system resource with the resource name found from Step 1.
As root user execute:

# srvctl start filesystem -d <volume device path> -n <node to start file system on>

If the ACFS file system is not used for Oracle Database software and is registered in the
ACFS registry, these file systems should get automatically mounted when the CRS stack
comes up. Perform Steps 1 and 2 if it is not already mounted.

1. Execute the following command to find all ACFS file system mount points.
As the root user execute:

# /sbin/acfsutil registry
2/3
2. Mount ACFS file systems found in Step 1.
As the root user execute:

# /bin/mount <mount-point>
