Pravin,
With that database version you do not need the datavolume option in 1.4
or 1.6.
Thanks,
Herbert.

yes, we use OCFS2 to store Oracle database files and Oracle database
version is 11.2.0.2 and we are upgrading it to 11.2.0.3 before we are
ready to switch from OCFS2 1.4 to 1.6

Are you using OCFS2 to store Oracle database files? What database
version do you use?
Thanks,

Just attaching the guide which is by Sunil, refer to page 43 and
it says to use the datavolume option but the man page of
mount.ocfs2 says that its depricated parameter. below is details
form man page of mount .ocfs2
datavolume
This mount option has been deprecated. It has been used in the
past, to force the Oracle RDBMS to
issue direct IOs to the hosted data files, control files,
redo logs, archive logs, voting disk,
cluster registry, etc. It has been deprecated because it is no
longer required. Oracle RDBMS users
should instead use the init.ora parameter, filesystemio_options,
to enable direct IOs.
Just want to be cautious of what we use.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that should be fine.

thanks for quick response, so does this mean, we can even
remove that option on current 1.4 OCFS2 and prepare new host
also without this option and we swing the storage and we
should be fine?

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?

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
