Manually Mounting ACFS

A server rebooted and I needed to remount the ACFS where the Oracle Home is. About that:

# Manually Mounting ACFS
Checked my $ORACLE_HOME (mounted on ACFS) is not available to start the database. Checked ACFS service is down. So, let’s do all the process:

# Starting ACFS
[root@db1host1p ~]$ $GRID_HOME/bin/acfsload start -s

# Volumes OFFLINE: Let’s Enable it:
[root@db1host1p ~]$ $GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl stat res -t |grep acfs
ora.dghome.sephome.acfs
ONLINE OFFLINE db1host1p
[root@db1host1p ~]$ su - grid
[grid@db1host1p ~]$ asmcmd
ASMCMD> volinfo -a
Diskgroup Name: DGHOME
Volume Name: LVHOME
Volume Device: /dev/asm/lvhome-270
State: DISABLED
Size (MB): 10240
Resize Unit (MB): 32
Redundancy: MIRROR
Stripe Columns: 4
Stripe Width (K): 128
Usage: ACFS
Mountpath: /oracle/MYDB
ASMCMD> volenable -a
ASMCMD> volinfo -a
Diskgroup Name: DGHOME
Volume Name: LVHOME
Volume Device: /dev/asm/lvhome-270
State: ENABLED
Size (MB): 10240
Resize Unit (MB): 32
Redundancy: MIRROR
Stripe Columns: 4
Stripe Width (K): 128
Usage: ACFS
Mountpath: /oracle/MYDB

[root@db1host1p ~]$ $GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl stat res -t |grep acfs
ora.dghome.sephome.acfs
ONLINE ONLINE db1host1p mounted on /oracle/MYDB
ONLINE ONLINE db2host2p mounted on /oracle/MYDB

# As root, let’s mount it:
[root@db1host1p ~]# mount -t acfs /dev/asm/lvhome-270 /oracle/MYDB

# Then, with the $ORACLE_HOME available:
[oracle@db1host1p ~]$ srvctl start instance -d MYDB -i MYDB001
