Just attaching the guide which is by Sunil, refer to page 43 and it says to use the datavolume option but the man page of mount.ocfs2 says that its depricated parameter. below is details form man page of mount .ocfs2<div><br>

The datavolume option didn't really do much. It just changed the
filesystem identifier from OCFS2 to OCFS V1, so some programs which
shall not be named would detect it as OCFS and do something
special. Those programs have long since been fixed. And there's
absolutely no other functional behavior change with or without the
parameter.<br>

Thanks,<br>

<div>While building new servers, we just noticed that on new

for mount as datavolume</div>
<div>All our file system which have oracle data files are mounted
with this option in current system which is SLES10 SP4 and OCFS
1.4</div>

</div>
<div>So when we swing the storage, we will have to be careful of
this mount option. Any suggestions?</div>

<div>Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have current Oracle RAC running
with OCFS2 1.4.2 on SLES10 SP4 servers.</div>
<div>we are building new RAC nodes with
SLES11 SP2 which will have OCFS2 1.6</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We plan to just represent the storage
from current HW to new HW and expect the
new server to recognize all FS and let
Oracle start RAC instances.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are there any steps required
after/before presenting the storage to
new server.</div>
