14.3 Mounting an OCFS2 Volume
-
Open a terminal window and log in as the root
user or equivalent.
-
If the O2CB cluster service is offline, start it by entering the
following command, then wait for the process to return a status of
.
/etc/init.d/o2cb online ocfs2
Replace ocfs2 with the
actual cluster name of your OCFS2 cluster.
The OCFS2 cluster must be online, because the format operation must
ensure that the volume is not mounted on any node in the cluster.
-
Use one of the following methods to mount the volume.
-
In the ocfs2console, select a device in the
Available Devices list, click , specify the
directory mount point and mount options (optional), then click
.
-
Mount the volume from the command line, using the
mount command.
-
Mount the volume from the /etc/fstab
file on system boot.
Mounting an OCFS2 volume takes about 5 seconds, depending on how long
it takes for the heartbeat thread to stabilize. On a successful mount,
the device list in the ocfs2console shows the mount
point along with the device.
For information about mounting an OCFS2 volume using any of these
methods, see the
OCFS2 User Guide
on the OCFS2
project at Oracle.
When running Oracle RAC, make sure to use the
datavolume and nointr mounting
options for OCFS2 volumes that contain the Voting diskfile (CRS),
Cluster registry (OCR), Data files, Redo logs, Archive logs, and
Control files. Do not use these options when mounting the Oracle Home
volume.
