How do I open an ACFS file system?
Create ACFS File System on RAC
ASM Cluster Filesystem (ACFS) is also named "Unified Storage Management" (UFS) and allows for storing Application File Data , the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR), the Cluster Voting Disk, and the Oracle Binaries, all within ASM.
Which command creates an ACFS file system on an ASM volume?
Create a file system with the Oracle ACFS mkfs command. Create a file system using an existing volume device. For example: $ /sbin/mkfs -t acfs /dev/asm/volume1-123 mkfs.
When the Oracle Clusterware stack is stopped, all Oracle ACFS resources are automatically stopped. To stop individual resources, you can use SRVCTL management commands with the filesystem or volume object.
What is the use of ACFS in Oracle?
Oracle ACFS on Oracle Database Appliance Oracle ACFS is the primary cluster file system to store database files and general purpose data in the Oracle Database Appliance.
ASM-Proxy instance only needs to run in the clusters employing Flex ASM on the nodes where access to ACFS is required. Whereas ASM-Proxy instance can run on any node in a standard cluster, only Hub nodes in a Flex cluster can host it (Fig. 1). It can run on the same node as ASM instance or on a different node.15-Feb-2016
How do I mount an ACFS file system in Linux?
Creating an Oracle ACFS File System
Oracle ASM Dynamic Volume Manager (Oracle ADVM) provides volume management services and a standard disk device driver interface to clients.
What is Oracle Flex ASM?
Oracle Flex ASM enables an Oracle ASM instance to run on a separate physical server from the database servers. With this deployment, larger clusters of Oracle ASM instances can support more database clients while reducing the Oracle ASM footprint for the overall system.

How do I manually start an ASM instance?

What is ASM volume?
ASM volumes are created within an ASM disk group and are used in conjunction with the volume driver for general purpose or ASM cluster file systems. A volume can take up all or part of a single disk group, but it can exist in only one disk group. However, a disk group can contain many volumes, space permitting.27-Sept-2013
To determine if Oracles ASMFD is present on the host, you can also display the value of AFD_STATE from SYS_CONTEXT . You must run the query on the Oracle ASM instance. If the value of AFD_STATE is equal to NOT AVAILABLE , then Oracle ASMFD is not configured.
What is ASM cardinality?
About Flex ASM The default cardinality is 3, but this can be modified using srvctl modify asm command. ASM is not required to run on each node in the cluster. With Oracle Flex ASM,the clients can connect to remote ASM using network connection (ie ASM network ).12-Feb-2017
ASM Clusterware:- When the OCR(Oracle Cluster Registry), voting files, or ASM server, SPfile(Server parameter file), is stored on ASM disk group, the ASM Instance is a client of itself. ASMCA:- it is GUI that allows you to manage ASM instance, disk group, and volumes.21-Nov-2017
How do you check ASM disk groups at OS level?
Useful asmcmd commands
To see all disks, use V$ASM_DISKGROUP instead. Contains one row for every Oracle ASM file in every disk group mounted by the Oracle ASM instance. In an Oracle ASM instance, contains one row for every active Oracle ASM long running operation executing in the Oracle ASM instance.

How do I get ASM disk details in Linux?
In Linux, ASMLib provides the wrapper for managing the ASM disks. To identify the underlying physical device that the ASM disk point to, you can use the oracleasm querydisk command. The querydisk option will list the major and minor numbers that can be used to match the physical device.15-Dec-2017
