The Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) requires you to specify a location for the SRVM configuration file during the Oracle installation. The Server Control tool (srvctl) and Oracle Enterprise Manager use the SRVM configuration file. Symantec recommends creating a location for the configuration file to enable you to use the tools supplied by Oracle. The SRVM configuration file is a standalone volume or file system.

To create a cluster file system for SRVM (option 2)

# mount -t vxfs -o cluster \
