What is 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 Oracle Confidential

What’s New in Oracle ASM 11 g 11. 2. 0. 2 - Patch Set 1 Linux Windows Solaris/AIX Bug Fixes Yes Yes, + Port Snapshot Yes Yes + Port Yes Future Tagging, Replication, Security, Encryption Oracle Confidential

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 – Oracle Confidential Specify tag names for directories and files $ /sbin/acfsutil tag set –r resume /dev/asm/acfsvol 302/test/resumes

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 Oracle Confidential

Key Drivers for Data Security & Encryption Regulatory Compliance – – – Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), J-SOX, HIPAA GLBA Payment Card Industry (PCI) EU Privacy Directives, CA SB 1386…. Adequate IT controls, COSO, COBIT Separation of duty, Proof of compliance, Risk Assessment and Monitoring Oracle Confidential

ACFS Security • Fine grained access control in addition to OS ACLs • Enforces security policies through realms, 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 Oracle Confidential

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 Oracle Confidential

ACFS Use Cases Data Type Personal files • Data Model • ACFS file systems exported thru NFS/CIFS ACFS • ACFS file systems exported thru NFS/CIFS Single node or cluster ACFS file systems ACFS Home directories, documents, etc. . . System and application files • System files • Application binaries Business data • Business files not stored in the database • Business critical data • •

Store Personal Files on ACFS • Configure ACFS as a Network File Server NFS or CIFS Network Protocols – Single node or cluster for HA – Easy provisioning – Simple management • Client computers can mount ACFS NFS/CIFS file systems – Home directories, documents, photos and personal data ACFS FS mount points ACFS Network File Server (NFS/CIFS)

System & Application Files on ACFS • ACFS configuration alternatives – ACFS single node or cluster server – ACFS Network File Server SAP Oracle DB Binaries • Data types on ACFS – System files (not including boot FS and Grid Infrastructure home) • System files, trace files, log files, import/export files, system and application dump files, etc Application Binaries Siebel Application Oracle Binaries EBusiness Suite – Application files and binaries • Oracle database home (Shared or node-local) • Oracle and 3 rd party application binaries and supporting files I. e. SAP, Siebel, People. Soft, etc 3 rd Party File System ACFS File Systems ASM Disk Group
