Currently a customer has a 2 node Oracle cluster using OCFS for the
data.</b></font>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2"><b>The shared OCFS disk is being
provided by and EMC CX storage solution.</b></font>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2"><b>On the EMC CX we are creating a
snaphot, Basic creating a full copy that is accessible as a new disk
and presenting this disk to a 3rd server to allow the backup to be
completed away from the production Oracle cluster.</b></font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2"><b>Issues we are having is when
the snapshot (copy of original OCFS disk) is presented to the 3rd
server the disk is unreadable. The 3rd server that is being used is
Prospero3 which was used in the POC as the Oracle server and still has
all the OCFS services installed and running. What is needed to be done
to read a disk that has an OCFS file system.</b></font>

many thanks<br>
