Oracle Database Appliance: Resize CloudFS ACFS File System Using ASMCA

Step 2: Start VNC on node 1. Here I am starting VNC as root user. You can choose to start it as Grid or Oracle user.


[root@odanode1 ~]# rpm -qa *vnc*
tigervnc-1.1.0-18.el6.x86_64
tigervnc-server-1.1.0-18.el6.x86_64
[root@odanode1 ~]# ps -ef|grep vnc
root     23281 20754  0 13:32 pts/1    00:00:00 grep vnc

[root@odanode1 ~]# vncserver :1


You will require a password to access your desktops.


Password:
Verify:


New ‘odanode1:1 (root)’ desktop is odanode1:1


Creating default startup script /root/.vnc/xstartup
Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /root/.vnc/odanode1:1.log


[root@odanode1 ~]# ps -ef|grep vnc
root     23399     1  1 13:32 pts/1    00:00:00 /usr/bin/Xvnc :1 -desktop odanode1:1 (root) -auth /root/.Xauthority -geometry 1024×768 -rfbwait 30000 -rfbauth /root/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5901 -fp catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d -pn
root     23481 23480  0 13:33 pts/1    00:00:00 vncconfig -iconic
root     23636 20754  0 13:33 pts/1    00:00:00 grep vnc

Step 3: Start VNC viewer on desktop and enter the hostname/IP address on node 1. Enter the root password as we have started the VNC server using root user.

Step 4: Switch to grid user and verify the Grid Home

Step 5: Set Oracle Home to Grid home and start asmca

Step 6: Click on ASM Cluster File System Tab

Step 7: Right Click on /cloudfs and select Resize option

Step 8: Enter the desired new size. Here I am resizing the /cloudfs to 200GB

Step 9: Resize in progress

Step 10: Resize completed

Step 11: Verify the /cloudfs size

Conclusion


In this article we have learned how to resize/increase the size of /cloudfs ACFS file system on ODA using ASMCA GUI utility. The cloudfs file system is configured during the ODA deployment and it is set to 50GB which is not sufficient for storing the big files. The cloudfs is build using ACFS and it can be resized easily using ASMCA graphical interface.
