Oracle Database Tips by Donald Burleson |

Chapter 5 -
Preparing Shared Storage
For Linux and
Windows
The OCFS version for Windows NT/2000 is the
same. OCFS for Windows does support a shared Oracle Home.
OCFS2 is the latest version of the Oracle
Cluster File System software. While OCFS Version 1 was designed
specifically for Oracle Database files, OCFS Ver 2 supports a shared
ORACLE_HOME installation also.
New features of the OCFS Version 2 include:
-
Shared ORACLE_HOME.
-
Improved performance of metadata operations
(space allocation, locking, etc).
-
Improved metadata caching.
-
Improved data caching (for files such as
oracle binaries, libraries, etc).
-
Network based DLM is used by default.
-
Improved journaling / node recovery - we
now use the Linux Kernel "JBD" subsystem.
-
Keep the same performance for Oracle data
files as OCFS1.
-
CDSL for node specific files.
