Performing Basic File Operations Using the ORADNFS Utility
ORADNFS is a utility which enables the database administrators to perform basic file operations over Direct NFS Client on Microsoft Windows platforms.
ORADNFS is a multi-call binary, a single binary that acts like several utilities. This allows ORADNFS to be smaller since all the built-in commands can leverage DNFS code for many common operations. ORADNFS is run by issuing a command as an argument on the command line.
For example, C:\> ORADNFS help
causes ORADNFS to print a list of built-in commands, and C:\> ORADNFS ls C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\ORCL
causes ORADNFS to behave as an ls
command of C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\ORCL
remote directory, where C:\ORACLE\ORADATA
is a DNFS virtual mount point specified in the oranfstab
configuration file.
Note:
-
A valid copy of the
oranfstab
configuration file must be present inORACLE_HOME
\dbs
directory for ORADNFS to operate. -
The user must be a member of the local
ORA_DBA
group to execute ORADNFS.
