Configuring Storage <strong>for</strong> <strong>Oracle</strong> <strong>Database</strong> Files on a Supported Shared File System<br />

5.4.3.4 Specifying Network Paths with the Oranfstab File<br />

Direct NFS can use up to four network paths defined in the oranfstab file <strong>for</strong> an<br />

NFS server. The Direct NFS client per<strong>for</strong>ms load balancing across all specified paths. If<br />

a specified path fails, then Direct NFS reissues I/O commands over any remaining<br />

paths.<br />

Use the following views <strong>for</strong> Direct NFS management:<br />

■ v$dnfs_servers: Shows a table of servers accessed using Direct NFS.<br />

■ v$dnfs_files: Shows a table of files currently open using Direct NFS.<br />

■ v$dnfs_channels: Shows a table of open network paths (or channels) to servers <strong>for</strong><br />

which Direct NFS is providing files.<br />

■ v$dnfs_stats: Shows a table of per<strong>for</strong>mance statistics <strong>for</strong> Direct NFS.<br />

5.4.4 Enabling Direct NFS Client <strong>Oracle</strong> Disk Manager Control of NFS<br />

Complete the following procedure to enable Direct NFS:<br />

1. Create an oranfstab file with the following attributes <strong>for</strong> each NFS server to be<br />

accessed using Direct NFS:<br />

5-8 <strong>Oracle</strong> <strong>Clusterware</strong> <strong>Installation</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />

■ Server: The NFS server name.<br />

■ Path: Up to four network paths to the NFS server, specified either by IP<br />

address, or by name, as displayed using the ifconfig command.<br />

■ Export: The exported path from the NFS server.<br />

■ Mount: The local mount point <strong>for</strong> the NFS server.<br />

Note: On Linux and UNIX plat<strong>for</strong>ms, the location of the oranfstab<br />

file is $ORACLE_HOME/dbs.<br />

The following is an example of an oranfstab file with two NFS server entries:<br />

server: MyDataServer1<br />

path: 132.34.35.12<br />

path: 132.34.35.13<br />

export: /vol/oradata1 mount: /mnt/oradata1<br />

server: MyDataServer2<br />

path: NfsPath1<br />

path: NfsPath2<br />

path: NfsPath3<br />

path: NfsPath4<br />

export: /vol/oradata2 mount: /mnt/oradata2<br />

export: /vol/oradata3 mount: /mnt/oradata3<br />

export: /vol/oradata4 mount: /mnt/oradata4<br />

export: /vol/oradata5 mount: /mnt/oradata5<br />

2. <strong>Oracle</strong> <strong>Database</strong> uses an ODM library, libnfsodm10.so, to enable Direct NFS.<br />

To replace the standard ODM library, $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm10.so, with<br />

the ODM NFS library, libnfsodm10.so, complete the following steps:<br />

a. Change directory to $ORACLE_HOME/lib.<br />

b. Enter the following commands:<br />

cp libodm10.so libodm10.so_stub
