Oracle ACFS and Oracle ADVM
Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (Oracle ACFS) extends Oracle ASM technology to support of all of your application data in both single instance and cluster configurations.
Note:
The ACFS storage option on IBM AIX is deprecated in Oracle Database 19c.
To align the support for the IBM AIX platform, Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (ACFS) on IBM AIX (called Oracle Advanced Cluster File System starting with Oracle Database 21c) is deprecated in Oracle Database 19c. For data or files currently stored on an ACFS file system that cannot be stored in the Oracle database, the IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) can be used.
Oracle Automatic Storage Management Dynamic Volume Manager (Oracle ADVM) provides volume management services and a standard disk device driver interface to clients. Oracle ACFS communicates with Oracle ASM through the Oracle ADVM interface.
