Create mount point .

Hi guys.
How to create mount point for database .
Thanks.

Even if you tell us the operating system your system may use another file system provided by another company separate from the OS so information about file system software would help us as well. JFS UFS VERITAS........
I presume your talking about "mount points" because you need another file system for this restore. Your Unix admin should be able to help provide extra disk capacity?
Kind regards

How to create Mount Point in Linux

Hi,
I m new to Linux OS, want to install Oracle EBS R12 on OEL 5.6 . I have downloaded s/w and installed all required packages for OEL.
Now i want to create Staging directory at location /u01/StageR12.
Can anyone guide me for how to create Mount point /u01 and how to assign space of 53 GB to it.... ?
Reply awaited...

You're on the right path.
Keep in mind though what you need partition wise just for o/s install. You should have at least 3 partitions:
- a ?? GB partition for the / (root) mount (the size depends on what you will install and how much space you will need for running that s/w)
- a 128MB or larger partition for the /boot mount
- a ?? GB partition as swap space mount (typically rule of thumb is 2x RAM for 4GB and lower, else around 25% of total RAM)
I would not create separate partitions for the old-style +/u01+ mount points for Oracle. That part of the OFA (Oracle Flexible Architecture) standards are old and pre-ASM and pre- automated Oracle managed data files.
You need space for installing an Oracle Home. I do not see the need for a dedicated mount point for that. I use the root file system.
You need space for the actual database. If you use Oracle ASM, then I would create raw partitions (across disks) to be used for database storage. These will not be mounted or formatted. Instead these will be assigned to an ASM diskgroup (and striped by default) and used for database storage.
If you do not use ASM, then you need a cooked file system for storage of database file. In that case separate mount point(s) make sense. Also, it makes sense not to manually apply the old OFA standards, but instead use Oracle managed database files. In that case you need a single mount point (e.g.<i>/oracledb</i>) - and set that as the base directory for Oracle to use for the database. Oracle will create an OFA compliant database directory tree and files under that base directory/mount point.
Keep in mind that the more mount points you have for the database, the more difficult your job becomes to manage storage. The easiest is a single mount point for the database and using Oracle to manage the OFA compliant side for you on that mount point.
Also, you cannot and should not attempt some kind of manual striping layout of the database across multiple mountpoints. This may have made some sense back 10+ years ago. It no longer does.

Creating Mount Points using XML

I am new to xml and am trying to create mount points using xml.
However, I am having trouble figuring out what tag to use to set
the Associated Folder. There is an AssociatedPublicObject
attribute for mount point that using that as a tag doesn't work.
Can anyone tell how to do this?
Thanks.

It is possible using only XML, yet I am missing the mount point path...
my XML sofar is:
<?xml version = '1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>
<MountPoint>
<Name>testMountP</Name>
<Description>Test Mount Point</Description>
<Acl Reftype="Name">Lesezugriff_fuer_Projekt_Mitglieder</Acl>
<SecuringPublicObject Reftype="Path"> /mypath </SecuringPublicObject>
<ResolvedPublicObject Reftype="Path"> /mypath </ResolvedPublicObject>
<ASSOCIATEDPUBLICOBJECT Reftype="Path"> /mypath </ASSOCIATEDPUBLICOBJECT>
</ObjectList>
Somehow the attribute AssociatedPublicObject does not get updated by this xml. The MountPoint is created but the location path is set to null.
Any comments?

Create mount point on Mac OS for Oracle 10g

I am trying to install Oracle 10g on Mac OS. The current mount point is "/". But I want to create a mount point like "/u01" so that the Oracle home path will be /u03/app/oracle. The question is how to create this mount point /u01 on MAC OS? Please advise.
Thanks
S.

Mount points are traditionally simple (and empty) directories.
A directory becomes a mount point when it is used in the mount command. Typical *nix sequence is
mkdir /u01
mount <type information> <source disk> /u01 -o <options>
What the docs are referring to is the Oracle (or Optimal) Flexible Architecture and the assumption is that you have additional drive partitions available. In that case
mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /u01
would do the trick.
In your case, assuming you have enough disk space on the root file system, and assuming this is not for a production environment, just stop at the 'mkdir /u01' and you;ll be fine. Then 'mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle' and 'chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01' so that you can use '/u01/app/oracle' as your ORACLE_BASE in the install, and '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1' as the ORACLE_HOME (which will become the defaults if you set ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle before you start the installer)
For a production system, it is generally insane to use one disk and put Oracle database & s/w on the root disk - 'eggs in one basket' kind-a thing.

How to create mount point from external drive directory

Hi,
Is it possible to create a mount point pointing directly to an external drive directory?
For example I would like to have /Volumes/Media point to my external eSATA drive /eSATA/Media
What I am trying to achieve is that I can see a virtual drive in Finder called "Media"
This is important because when this external drive is connected on my NAS Server the /eSATA/Media directory
shows up as a mounted drive called "Media" alse (through afp).
What I want is to see "Media" pointinf to /eSATA/Media regardles if it is connected directly to my MacBook or connected on my NAS.
Thanks for your help.

How can I remove old mount points?

Hi,
I created mount points under Tiger using NetInfo Manager. These are still active but don't show up in Directory Utility.
How Do I remove thos old mount points?
All the best

http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
You can delete it from itunes and sync.
You can deselect it from the apps tab and sync.
You can hold an icon on the iphone until they all wiggle then tap the "X".
You cannot delete the standard app.
Maybe you should have a look at the manual.

HT201372 I am trying to create a bootable USB drive for Yosemite and the terminal is telling me /Volumes/Untitled is not a valid volume mount point. HELP!!!

I erased the USB drive and partitioned it as directed in order to create a bootable drive. When I type in the sudo command in the terminal, it is telling me that /Volumes/Untitled is not a valid volume mount point. HELP!!!

FYI
my process just completed: here is what I see when it is done... (the first you saw in my earlier post. It took about 15-20 minutes.

Creating database in other mount point

i had installed oracle 10g in mount point u01 but i want to create database in mount point u02
how can i do this??
i had to do this by using dbca

This is the same as yesterday's question:
creating mountpoint after installation
Whatever you did yesterday when you typed "u01", just do the same but type "u02".
There was no need to create a new post just for this.
Perhaps you need to spend more time reading what others have already posted into various forum web sites instead of splattering your questions and expecting others to tell you every minuscule step to do.
This thread is locked because you are just repeating yourself.

How do I create new mount point

Hello,
I'd like to create a new mount point. The Admin guide says to click the Create button on the toolbar but I don't see anything that says Create (I have New, Edit, Upload,...).
Searching here I've seen references to some code snippets that purport to do it but I'd rather use a GUI.
Thanks for any help

You have to use iFS Manager, not the WebUI.

Mobile accounts WHICH MOUNT POINT?

How does a machine handling a mobile account
a. know how to set $HOME ?
b. know where to mount the folder during sync?
The scenario and problem:
(can u help?)(you'll win a free beer if you come to Switzerland).
I have the user's files stored in /Volumes/team1/users/user1
The folder /Volumes/team1 is mounted on a local drive on server1.
The server1 share point, called 'users' is /Volumes/team1/users
(sounds simple.. doesn't it
In config-scenario1 I do this:
The user's share point URL is afp://server1.disneyland.ch/users
The path to home folder is user1
The full path is /Network/Servers/server1.disneyland.ch/users/user1
THIS WORKS ON CLIENT MAC1
When logged in (via login panel), the $HOME is set to /Users/user1
and during syncing I see /Volumes/users mounted temporarily (weird,.. it used to show the temporary mount as /Network/Servers/server1.disneyland.ch/users )
user1@mac1:~ > pwd
/Users/user1
user1@mac1:~ >
THIS WORKS ON SERVER1
When I ssh into the user, on server1,
I see $HOME set to /Network/Servers/server1.disneyland.ch/users/user1
user1@server1:~ > pwd
/Network/Servers/server1.disneyland.ch/users/user1
user1@server1:~ >
THIS DOES NOT WORK ON SERVER2
On server2 where the same external drive is mounted (it's an Xsan using fiber-channel)
I get this:
user1$ cd ~
-bash: cd: /Network/Servers/server1.disneyland.ch/users/user1: No such file or directory
SOLUTION1 (that fails)(aka config-scenario 2)
The user's share point URL is afp://server1.disneyland.ch/users
The path to home folder is user1
Set the full path to /Volumes/team1/users/user1
THIS WORKS ON MAC1
THIS WORKS ON SERVER1
THIS CAUSES PROBLEMS ON SERVER2 : (see this posting: http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?p=581557 ).
Questions :
1. How is the HOME folder determined by the computer? Despite the two config-scenarios, the client mac1 uses HOME as /Users/user1 (as it should) but not on Server1 or Server2 (on Server1 it always uses the value in the full path specified in the Mobility>Home for the user)(In Server2 it sometimes uses that value and sometimes it uses the previous configuration value).
2. How is the MOUNT on the client determined? It seems that it is always /Volumes/users (as it should?); Perhaps it is identified by the system seeing what is behind the user's share point? What's weird is that I'm sure/certain that at one point, under config-scenario1, the mount point on mac8 was NOT /Volumes/users but rather /Network/Servers/server1.disneyland.ch ! Did I dream that ?
3. How can I PREVENT the mount happening on Server2 (it's mounting on top of the existing /Volumes/team1/users !!) ?
4. If I DO accept config-scenario1, couldn't I just create a symbolic link on server2 in /Network/Server/server1.disneyland.ch/users-->/Volumes/team1/users ?? Actually this doesn't work because even with sudo I can't mkdir /Networks/Servers/server1.disneyland.ch into which I wold have make the users-> link
ARGHHH!
Thanx for any insight.

Mount Points in Windows 2012 R2 Cluster not displaying correctly

Hi,
Try
and I might, I can't get Mount Points displayed properly in a Windows 2012 R2 cluster.
In Windows 2008 R2, I added them, and they appear under Storage, as for Example, Cluster Disk 7: Mounted Volume (S:\SYSDB). (I may have had to bring them offline/online).
in Windows 2012 R2, they are showing up as, for example, '\\?\Volume{7c636157-e7e9-11e4-80dc0005056873123}'
In the error log it shows up as :
Cluster disk resource 'Cluster Disk 7' contains an invalid mount point. Both the source and target disks associated with the mount point must be clustered disks, and must be members of the same group.
Mount point 'SYSDB\' for volume '\\?\Volume{7c636106-e7e9-11e4-80dc-005056873123}\' references an invalid target disk. Please ensure that the target disk is also a clustered disk and in the same group as the source disk (hosting the mount point).
Now I've checked the error, and in
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/library/dd353925(v=ws.10).aspx it says
"The mounted disk and the disk it is mounted onto must be part of the same clustered service or application. They cannot be in two different clustered services or applications, and they cannot be in the general pool of Available Storage in the cluster."
So I have created a 'Other Server' Role. When I go right click on the Role and go to 'Add Storage', Cluster Disk 6 (the root volume) displays S:\, and Cluster Disk 9 (hosting the mountpoint) says Mount Point(s): (S:\SYSDB). I select both, and add, but
alas, the Mount Point still shows up as '\\?\Volume{7c636106-e7e9-11e4-80dc-005056873123}\ (not S:\SYSDB or Cluster Disk 6: Mounted Volume (S:\SYSDB).) as I would expect.
They are both clustered disks (iSCSI). I would expect when it says in the "same group", both added to the same role would be in the same group.

Hi,
Thankyou for your response. That's (sort of) good to know, but it seems to be a step backwards from Windows 2008 R2, where you would actually have the meaningful Mounted Volume: (S:\SYSDB) displayed, to the meaningless '\\?\Volume{7c636157-e7e9-11e4-80dc0005056873123}'
GUID. Obviously before you do anything, you need to cross reference the disk number to 'Disk Management'; it would be better if is was displayed correctly in Failover Cluster Manager in the first place.
Secondly, the GUID is somewhat misleading. In Windows 2008 R2 for example, it appears as though the same GUID was displayed on each node (e.g. using Mountvol.exe). In Windows 2012 R2, it appears as though different GUID's are displayed on each node, e.g.
Node 1.
\\?\Volume{7c6368a4-e7e9-11e4-80dc-005056873123}\
S:\SYSDB\
Node 2.
\\?\Volume{97cc0d34-e7e9-11e4-80db-0050568724c4}\
S:\SYSDB\
But the GUID in Failover cluster manager remains the same (you can't really cross reference with what you see in FCM to Mountvol).
Strangely enough, when I check the registry in 'MountedDevices' on Node 1, both of the GUIDs are displayed (even though only one is displayed in MountVol.exe), referencing the same Disk ID listed in Diskpart.exe. I can see this mentioned in
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/959573, where is says :
A volume can be multiple unique volume names (and thus multiple GUIDs) when it is used by multiple running installations of Windows. This could happen in the following scenarios and in similar scenarios where multiple installations of Windows have
accessed the volume:
Using a volume on a shared disk in a cluster where multiple nodes have accessed the volume.
Oh well, that's progress I guess.

Nfs mount point does not allow file creations via java.io.File

Folks,
I have mounted an nfs drive to iFS on a Solaris server:
mount -F nfs nfs://server:port/ifsfolder /unixfolder
I can mkdir and touch files no problem. They appear in iFS as I'd expect. However if I write to the nfs mount via a JVM using java.io.File encounter the following problems:
Only directories are created ? unless I include the user that started the JVM in the oinstall unix group with the oracle user because it's the oracle user that writes to iFS not the user that creating the files!
I'm trying to create several files in a single directory via java.io.File BUT only the first file is created. I've tried putting waits in the code to see if it a timing issue but this doesn't appear to be. Writing via java.io.File to either a native directory of a native nfs mountpoint works OK. ie. Junit test against native file system works but not against an iFS mount point. Curiously the same unit tests running on PC with a windows driving mapping to iFS work OK !! so why not via a unix NFS mapping ?
many thanks in advance.

Hi Diep,
have done as requested via Oracle TAR #3308936.995. As it happens the problem is resolved. The resolution has been not to create the file via java.io.File.createNewFile(); before adding content via an outputStream. if the File creation is left until the content is added as shown below the problem is resolved.
Another quick question is link creation via 'ln -fs' and 'ln -f' supported against and nfs mount point to iFS ? (at Operating System level, rather than adding a folder path relationship via the Java API).
many thanks in advance.
