Login to grid user and set ASM instance parameters.  

[grid@Rac1 ~]$ . oraenv

ORACLE_SID = [grid] ? +ASM1

The Oracle base has been set to /u01/app/grid

[grid@Rac1 ~]$ env|grep ORACLE

ORACLE_SID=+ASM1

ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/grid

ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/12.1.0/grid

Invoke asmca

[grid@Rac1 ~]$ asmca 

 

Click on volumes tab and click on create button

 

Provide the volume name(acfs), from which diskgroup (DATA_T2), Size (50G) and click Ok button. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Click on ASM Cluster File System Tab and click on create button

 

Provide Type of ACFS (Cluster File System), Mount point (/u02), owner/username of the file system (oracle), Group name(oninstall) and the volume name which is created in above step from the drop down (ACFS-/dev/asm/acfs-476-50G)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Execute the acfs_script.sh file as root user

[root@Rac1 install]# /u01/app/grid/cfgtoollogs/asmca/scripts/acfs_script.sh

 

ACFS file system /u02 is mounted on nodes Rac1,Rac2 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Verify the shared file system from both nodes

[root@Rac1 install]# df -h /u02

Filesystem         Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/asm/acfs-476   50G  178M   50G   1% /u02

 

[oracle@Rac2 admin]$ df -h /u02

Filesystem         Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

 

/dev/asm/acfs-476   50G  178M   50G   1% /u02
