Specifies the directory where the file system is mounted. |
The acfsutil repl pause command temporarily stops the replication process until the acfsutil repl resume command is run. The command can be run at either the site hosting the primary or a standby file system. acfsutil repl resume should be run soon after acfsutil repl pause to resume replication.
You can use the acfsutil repl pause command to temporarily stop the transportation of replication logs from the primary file system to the standby file system, but logs continue to be generated on the primary file system. Logs are not deleted until they are transported to the standby file system and applied to the standby file system.
The acfsutil repl pause command can also be used to temporarily stop the application of replication logs to a standby file system, but the command does not stop the transportation of logs to the standby file system. Logs are not deleted from the standby file system until they are applied to the file system.
When replication is paused on either the site hosting the primary or standby file system, replication logs still accumulate on the standby and primary file system. These logs can consume all available storage space in the file system so you must check available storage on the sites hosting the file systems if you have paused replication. Ensure that you run acfsutil repl resume before the accumulated replication logs consume all available space in the file system.
You must have system administrator or Oracle ASM administrator privileges to run this command.
