Removing an Oracle ACFS File System and a Volume

Deregister the file system with acfsutil registry -d.

For example:

$ /sbin/acfsutil registry -d /acfsmounts/acfs1
acfsutil registry: successfully removed ACFS mount point
   /acfsmounts/acfs1 from Oracle Registry

For information about running acfsutil registry, see "acfsutil registry".

Dismount the file system.

For example:

# /bin/umount /acfsmounts/acfs1

You must dismount the file system on all nodes of a cluster.

Use umount on Linux systems or acfsdismount on Windows systems. For information about running umount or acfsdismount, see "umount" or "acfsdismount".

Remove the file system with acfsutil rmfs.

If you were not planning to remove the volume in a later step, this step is necessary to remove the file system. Otherwise, the file system is removed when the volume is deleted.

For example:

$ /sbin/acfsutil rmfs /dev/asm/volume1-123

For information about running acfsutil rmfs, see "acfsutil rmfs".

Optionally you can disable the volume with the ASMCMD voldisable command.

For example:

ASMCMD> voldisable -G data volume1

For information about running voldisable, see Managing Oracle ADVM with ASMCMD .

Delete the volume with the ASMCMD voldelete command.

For example:

ASMCMD> voldelete -G data volume1

For information about running voldelete, see Managing Oracle ADVM with ASMCMD .
