1Z0-031.3 - 4. Oracle Managed Files（OMF）-CSDN博客

What are Oracle-Managed Files?

使用Oracle管理的文件,简化了管理一个Oracle数据库，OMF不再需要你，DBA，直接管理作业系统的档案,包括一个Oracle数据库。你通过指定数据库对象，Oracle内部使用标准文件系统接口来创建和删除下列数据库的结构的文档:

1 -- Tablespaces

2 -- Online redo log files

3 -- Control files

[@more@]

Through initialization parameters, you specify the file system directory to be used for a particular type of file.（通过初始化参数,你指定的文件系统目录用来为某一类型的文件。） Oracle then ensures that a unique file, an Oracle-managed file, is created and deleted when no longer needed. This feature does not affect the creation or naming of administrative files such as trace files, audit files, alert files, and core files.

Who Can Use Oracle-Managed Files?

Oracle-managed files are most useful for the following types of databases:

-- Databases that are supported by the following:数据库的支持如下:

1. A logical volume manager that supports striping/RAID and dynamically extensible logical volumes.（逻辑卷管理支持striping/RAID和动态扩展逻辑卷）

2. A file system that provides large, extensible files.（一个文件系统,提供大,extensible档案）

-- Low end or test databases低端或测试数据库

The Oracle Managed Files feature is not intended to ease administration of systems that use raw disks. This feature provides better integration with operating system functionality for disk space allocation. Since there is no operating system support for allocation of raw disks (it is done manually), this feature cannot help. On the other hand, because Oracle-managed files require that you use the operating system file system (unlike raw disks), you lose control over how files are laid out on the disks and thus, you lose some I/O tuning ability.

Oracle-Managed Files and Existing Functionality

Using Oracle-managed files does not eliminate any existing functionality. Existing databases are able to operate as they always have. New files can be created as managed files while old ones are administered in the old way. Thus, a database can have a mixture of Oracle-managed and unmanaged files.
