Oracle Memory Speed Support for PMEM Devices

Oracle recommends that you use Oracle Database with the Oracle Memory Speed (OMS) file system to fully utilize the potential of persistent memory (PMEM) devices safely in data centers.

With PMEM as the backing device, OMS utilizes a memory-mapped file hosted on an XFS-based, DAX-enabled file system to perform I/O operations. You must export the PMEM device as a file using a DAX-enabled file system, such as XFS.
