Table 16-21 Options for the acfsmountvol command

Option Description

/v

Specifies verbose mode. The progress is displayed as the operation occurs.

/h

Displays the help usage text and exits.

/all

Reads the ACFS mount registry created with acfsutil registry and mounts the file systems listed in it on this node.

drive_letter

The Windows drive letter to link to an Oracle ADVM volume device.

dir

Specifies the full directory of the mount point including the drive letter.

volume_device

Specifies an Oracle ADVM volume device file that has been formatted by acfsformat.


acfsmountvol attaches an Oracle ACFS to the file system hierarchy at the specified path name or drive letter. dir must be an empty directory. Oracle ACFS mount points can be created on any empty directory and they can be hierarchical (nested).

After acfsmountvol runs successfully, the MOUNTPATH column in the V$ASM_VOLUME view displays the full path or drive letter on which the file system is now mounted. If no arguments are specified, the command lists all mounted Oracle ACFS file systems on this node.

It is not always possible to return the cause of a mount failure to the acfsmountvol command. When this happens Oracle ACFS writes the cause of the failure to the Windows system event logger.

An Oracle ACFS file system should only be mounted on one mount point. The same mount point name should be used on all cluster members.

Windows Administrator privileges are required to mount an Oracle ACFS.

Examples

The first example shows how to mount asm-volume1-311 on the mount point identified as the F: drive. The second example shows how to mount asm-volume1-215 on the mount point specified by c:\oracle\acfsmounts\acfs1\. The first two examples enable verbose mode. The third example lists all the mounted file systems on the node.
