Using the nvfail_rename file for additional database protection

Description

Use the optional nvfail_rename file when you want to rename database files after the filer detects NVRAM errors. This enables you to examine the files for consistency before clients can access them.

Restrictions

You can only list one database file name per line in the nvfail_rename file, but you can list as many files as you want.

Steps

To create the nvfail_rename file, complete the following steps.

Step Action
1 Use an editor to create (or modify) the nvfail_rename file in the filer's /etc directory.
2 List the path name and file name, one file per line, within the nvfail_rename file; for example: /vol/vol1/home/dbs/oracle-WG73.dbf
3 Save the file.
