Overview of Oracle Database File Mapping Interface
To build these views, storage vendors must provide mapping libraries that are
responsible for mapping their particular I/O stack elements. The database
communicates with these libraries through an external non-Oracle Database process
that is spawned by a background process called FMON. FMON is responsible for
managing the mapping information. Oracle provides a PL/SQL package, DBMS_
STORAGE_MAP, that you use to invoke mapping operations that populate the mapping
views.

Components of File Mapping -- FILE MAPPING的组件

 

FMON FMON is a background process started by the database whenever the FILE_
MAPPING initialization parameter is set to TRUE. FMON is responsible for: -- FMON进程的主要作用
 --- Building mapping information, which is stored in the SGA. This information is
composed of the following structures:
– Files
– File system extents
– Elements
– Subelements
These structures are explained in "Mapping Structures" on page 15-18.
 ---- Refreshing mapping information when a change occurs because of:
– Changes to datafiles (size)
– Addition or deletion of datafiles
– Changes to the storage configuration (not frequent)
 ---- Saving mapping information in the data dictionary to maintain a view of the
information that is persistent across startup and shutdown operations
 ---- Restoring mapping information into the SGA at instance startup. This avoids the
need for a potentially expensive complete rebuild of the mapping information on
every instance startup.
