NFS mount options for Oracle on Solaris

NFS mounts need to have the correct mount options so the following document may help:

- Mount Options for Oracle files when used with NAS devices (Doc ID 359515.1)


rw,bg,vers=3,hard,intr,proto=tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,llock,suid,timeo=600,actimeo=0


when we used these options

rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=tcp,noac,forcedirectio,vers=3,suid

we had some issues while backing up the controlfile with the below command:

>rman
