The datavolume option didn't really do much. It just changed the filesystem identifier from OCFS2 to OCFS V1, so some programs which shall not be named would detect it as OCFS and do something special. Those programs have long since been fixed. And there's absolutely no other functional behavior change with or without the parameter.

Thanks,
Herbert.

Hi All,

While building new servers, we just noticed that on new servers which are SLES11 SP2 and OCFS2 1.6 there is no option for mount as datavolume All our file system which have oracle data files are mounted with this option in current system which is SLES10 SP4 and OCFS 1.4

So when we swing the storage, we will have to be careful of this mount option. Any suggestions?

Regards,
Pravin

        1.6 could recoginze 1.4 format, but after moving to the new
        server,  maybe need enable new features which only supported
        by 1.6 via tunefs.ocfs2.

        Hi,

        We have current Oracle RAC running with OCFS2 1.4.2 on SLES10
        SP4 servers.
        we are building new RAC nodes with SLES11 SP2 which will have
        OCFS2 1.6

        We plan to just represent the storage from current HW to new
        HW and expect the new server to recognize all FS and let
        Oracle start RAC instances.

        Are there any steps required after/before presenting the
        storage to new server.

        Regards,
        Pravin
