In this article, we will show how to create a ACFS file system in oracle RAC using command line.

ENVIRONMENT DETAILS

ORACLE GRID VERSION – 12.1.0.2
NODES – NODE3 , NODE4

We are going to unplug the PDB to plug them with No copy methods.

[oracle@localhost pdb3]$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [cdb1] ? cdb1
The Oracle base remains unchanged with value /u01/app/oracle

[oracle@localhost pdb3]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

Need to decide/find the times, when would like to capture the load, it’s recommended to start small; 15 mins, 30 mins or max 1 hr
We did for couple of hours, not recommended, but not a bad idea, but should start small first and then proceed, if reports look good (6-11, 9-11, 14-16, 19-22)
