17.19.2 Preparing the file system where the audit trail storage directory will be created

The audit trail files specified in an ADB_AUDITREAD function that retrieves audit trail data must be accessible from both the active and standby system using the same absolute paths. For this reason, the audit trail storage directory must be created on a file system that is shared among all nodes.

The following is an example of environment setup when using an NFS (a type of distributed file system):

Procedure:

1. After preparing the NFS server, create the audit trail storage directory on the NFS server.

2. Export the audit trail storage directory you created in step 1.

   Perform this operation on the NFS server.

3. Mount the directory exported in step 2 so that the paths are the same on the active and standby systems.

   Perform this operation on the active system and standby system.

The following figure provides an example of a system configuration that uses NFS.
