So ,when I try to create a folder ,can I just create /test or it should be /data/col1/test ?

you create a folder on DD, export it via NFS and then mount it on the oracle server. At that point your DBA will use RMAN to tell it where to run backups to.

/data/col1/test

Thanks for reply

But I see everything on my dd is under /backup and /backup/share ..I dont see /data/col1/ ..from CLI when I used nfs show clients command ..Please clarify

/backup and /data/col1 is the same thing.

but when I try to create nfs export /data/col1/test, its saying /data/col1/test doesn't exist

export /backup/test

Hi there,

Are you using DDOS prior to 5.1 code family?

At 5.1 we moved to Mtrees -->

The default directory is no longer /backup.

New path:

Seperately managed directory tree (MTrees) can be configured under /data/col1.

If you are pre 5.1, you may want to consider an upgrade, take into account any replication and code matching for that connectivity.

/backup is mtreet /data/col1/backup, i am on 5.4 and whenever i create new nfs exports within /data/col1/backup mtree i specify /backup/ during NFS add export command.

we're on DDOS 5.2 version.

I tried frrom Gui, it by default showing /data/col1/ under nfs export window, then i have to change it to some /backup/test..then that worked.

so , /backup is the mtree for /data/col1/backup ?
