CTE on Oracle ACFS Overview

CTE enables data protection of Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (Oracle ACFS) on secvm volumes as part of the Oracle ASM stack. Oracle ACFS configured with secvm block devices is intended for use solely by the Oracle RAC application set to store related Oracle generated data such as:

Oracle-generated related database files:
- database datafile
- control files
- redo log files
- archive log files
Oracle-generated database backup files:
- hot/cold
- rman
- datapump exports
Oracle-generated database TDE local wallet files

Note

CTE on ACFS only provides encryption. It does not provide access control.

For other files such as manually created shell scripts that require staging in a shared storage device, use other shared storage setups such as Veritas shared storage or share NFS mount.

Oracle RAC	Oracle RAC
Oracle ACFS (File System)	Oracle ADVM (Volume Manager)
Oracle ASM (Storage Manager)	SecVM

On Oracle, ACFS is layered on ASM disks, which in turn are built on secvm block devices. secvm is a proprietary device driver that supports GuardPoint protection to raw devices. secvm is inserted in between the device driver and the device itself.

Key Managers and SecVM

Server-side administrators must ensure that all secvm guards for an Oracle cluster use the same policies for encryption and access control.

Host Groups and Identical Keys and Policies

Thales recommends that you deploy host groups to ensure that identical policies and keys are applied on all nodes of the ACFS cluster. This is faster and less error-prone.

Restrictions and Caveats

Thales does not support secfs layered on ACFS.
Oracle ACFS encryption in conjunction with secvm encryption might impact performance.
