root@Host:/u01# cat /etc/dfs/sharetab 

/u01/hmmdb u01_hmmdb nfs sec=sys,rw codereview
/u01/Shared u01_Shared nfs sec=sys,rw

Now back to windows open Command Prompt “cmd”
and run the below command :
showmount -e Server-IP 

Exports list on :
/u01/Shared                        All Machines
/u01/hmmdb                         All Machines

Command to share on windows :

Extend File system On Solaris Using ZFS Command

The below is demostration for extend File system On Solaris 11 :  

root@TEST:~# zfs list
NAME                      USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
oracle                    107G  10.6G  1.11M  /oracle
oracle/u01                105G  13.0G   105G  /u01
rpool                    32.2G  46.0G    39K  /rpool
rpool/ROOT               5.40G  46.0G    31K  legacy
rpool/ROOT/solaris       5.40G  46.0G  5.03G  /
rpool/ROOT/solaris/var    318M  46.0G   314M  /var
rpool/dump               1.03G  46.1G  1.00G  –
rpool/export              854K  46.0G    32K  /export
rpool/export/home         822K  46.0G    32K  /export/home
rpool/export/home/omnix   790K  46.0G   790K  /export/home/omnix
rpool/swap               25.8G  46.8G  25.0G  –

 root@TEST:~# zpool list

NAME     SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  CAP  DEDUP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
oracle   140G   105G  34.9G  75%  1.00x  ONLINE  –
rpool   79.5G  31.4G  48.1G  39%  1.00x  ONLINE  –

root@TEST:~# zpool set autoexpand=on oracle

root@TEST:~# zpool list
NAME     SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  CAP  DEDUP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
oracle   140G   105G  34.9G  75%  1.00x  ONLINE  –
rpool   79.5G  31.4G  48.1G  39%  1.00x  ONLINE  –

now you have to do the below :

root@TEST:~# zfs get volsize,reservation oracle

         NAME    PROPERTY     VALUE    SOURCE

oracle  volsize      –        –
oracle  reservation  107G     local

root@TEST:~# zfs set reservation=140G oracle/u01

          root@TEST:~# zfs get reservation oracle/u01

NAME        PROPERTY     VALUE   SOURCE
oracle/u01  reservation  140     local

–> zfs set quota=140G oracle

Finally Check df -h and size are increased 🙂

Example on how to add Virtual Host On em12c

Active/Passive Clusterware , how to use it with em12c ? How to monitor OS and Database ? As One Single host Agent will deploy on Both Hosts without Any problem but in this case you will only Deal with one Host as Single not as Clusterware.

i will provide example how to add active/passive Clusterware to em12c :
First Agent should be deploy for single Host not acitve/passive clusterware, after do that Run the below command from Single Host 
 
emctl deploy agent -o -n “Service_name” -A  
The Below Commands should be run from new agent Location 
emctl secure agent
emctl start agent
emctl config agent addinternaltargets
**I prefer to set Service_name —> OracleAgent12cShared.
** Re run the above command on the passive Node after Failover shared storage on it.
Thank you

Flashback version query/Operation Column is Unknown

SQL > SELECT START_SCN,OPERATION,LOGON_USER,XID FROM  FLASHBACK_TRANSACTION_QUERY WHERE TABLE_NAME=’TEST’;

The Output will be like this :
