1. Create PSFS Filesystems

The Matrix Server PSFS filesystem supports a specialized mount option

called

DBOPTIMIZE that enables direct I/O. It is recommended that all

database files (e.g., datafiles, online redo logs, archived redo logs) be

stored in filesystems mounted with the

DBOPTIMIZE mount option. (See

“Configure PSFS Filesystems” in the PolyServe Administration Guide for

details about creating and mounting filesystems.)

However, the Oracle product (

$ORACLE_HOME) must be installed into a

standard mounted PSFS filesystem. The following example shows an

Oracle Home at the common OFA location of /u01/app/oracle/product/9204,

which is located on the psd4p1 filesystem. This filesystem is mounted

with the normal filesystem options, not dboptimize.

The $

ORACLE_HOME/oradata directory should be located in a

dboptimized filesystem. In the example, this directory is a symbolic link

to /u02, which is a filesystem (psd5p1) mounted with dboptimize. Note

that the same is true if oradata is located under

ORACLE_BASE.

2. Install Oracle

For MxDB-Oracle-HiAv to function properly, Oracle Home must be

installed into a PSFS filesystem.
