ASM Dynamic Volume Manager (ADVM) ASM Cluster File System (ACFS)

ASM Dynamic Volume Manager

New general purpose volume platform
OS
/dev/asm/volume1-123

Supports ACFS and 3rd party file systems Eliminates the need for 3rd party VMgrs

New ASM volume management service

ASM DG
+DATA/volume1

Cluster and single host volumes Loadable kernel driver

Dynamic Volume is an ASM file

+DATA/volume1 /dev/asm/volume1-123 Leverages ASM features Easy on line provisioning

Cross platform (Linux, Windows, UNIX) Managed using ASMCMD, EM and SQL

Leveraging the Power of ASM

Even distribution of data Dynamic provisioning Dynamic volumes and ACFS FS may be resized leveraging ASM file resize features % asmcmd volresize dga vol1 -s 50G Can also use Enterprise Manager for management and threshold alerts

ASM Cluster File System (ACFS)

General purpose file system for non-DB files
Journaling, extent based POSIX, X/OPEN file system solution for UNIX/Linux Windows file system solution for Windows platforms Single node and cluster Scalable and high performance Supports NFS and CIFS protocols

Multi OS platform - Linux, Windows, Solaris and AIX Integrated with Oracle system mgt tools
Oracle installation/configuration, EM and native OS tools

Supports advanced data services

Snapshot, Replication, Tagging, Security and Encryption

ACFS Data Services

ACFS Snapshot
Dynamic, fast, space efficient, point in time read-only

copies of ACFS file system files

Captures ASM FS file block/extent updates An enabler for: On-line, disk-based, file backup model using snapshots Individual file recoveries Up to 64 snapshot images per ASM file system Policy based snapshots: Schedule snapshots on an interval basis: every 5 seconds, every 30 minutes, daily,

Create an ACFS snapshots

acfsutil snap create snap_name mountp

ACFS Tagging
ACFS Tagging allows group operations on files spread throughout your file systems
ACFS Tagging assigns a common naming attribute to a group of files File operations can be performed based on tagging attributes

Tagging is configured and managed by acfsutil tag command line

Specify tag names for directories and files $ /sbin/acfsutil tag set r resume /dev/asm/acfsvol302/test/resumes

Oracle Confidential

ACFS Replication
Compliments Data Guard and provides a complete DR solution for all files Enables replication of ACFS file systems across the network to a remote site Replication logs are used to replicate from primary to standby asynchronously

ACFS Security
Fine grained access control in addition to OS ACLs Enforces security policies through realms, rules, rule sets and command rules
Realm is a group of files/directories secured for access by users Rule sets are collection of rules Command rules use rule sets to allow/disallow operations

Integrated with Oracle system mgt tools

ASMCA support for basic configurations Extensions to ACFS command line tools for easy use via acfsutil

ACFS Encryption
Protects data-at-rest through encryption
Prevents unauthorized use of data in case of data loss or theft Secure encryption keys to decode data

Flexibility to encrypt the entire file system and/or just individual files and directories Transparent to users and applications
Users and apps get decrypted data

High level protection using two keys

File Encryption Key (FEK) to encrypt file data Volume Encryption Key (VEK) to encrypt FEK

ACFS Use Cases

Daniel Smith Senior DBA, Carfax Inc.

"Oracles new security feature in ACFS gives us fine-grain and secure control over sensitive data that needs the extra protection. In addition, ACFS replication coupled with Oracle Data Guard provide a complete Disaster recovery solution for database files, external files and all other general purpose files in the OS".
