Remove an Oracle ACFS File System and a Volume

 

Removing an Oracle ACFS File System and a Volume

To permanently remove a volume and Oracle ACFS file system, perform the following steps. These steps destroy the data in the file system.

1. Deregister the file system with acfsutil registry -d.

   For example:

   $ /sbin/acfsutil registry -d /acfsmounts/acfs1
   acfsutil registry: successfully removed ACFS mount point
      /acfsmounts/acfs1 from Oracle Registry
   

   Dismount the file system.

2. For example:

   # /bin/umount /acfsmounts/acfs1
   

   You must dismount the file system on all nodes of a cluster.

   Remove the file system with acfsutil rmfs.

3. If you were not planning to remove the volume in a later step, this step is necessary to remove the file system. Otherwise, the file system is removed when the volume is deleted.

   For example:

   $ /sbin/acfsutil rmfs /dev/asm/volume1-123

4. Optionally you can disable the volume with the ASMCMD voldisable command.

   For example:

   ASMCMD> voldisable -G data volume1
   

   Delete the volume with the ASMCMD voldelete command.

5. For example:

   ASMCMD> voldelete -G data volume1
