ASM metadata file number 7 - volume directory - keeps track of files associated with ASM Dynamic Volume Manager (ADVM) volumes.
An ADVM volume device is constructed from an ASM dynamic volume. One or more ADVM volume devices may be configured within each disk group. ASM Cluster File System (ACFS) is layered on ASM through the ADVM interface. ASM dynamic volume manager is another client of ASM - the same way the database is. When a volume is opened, the corresponding ASM file is opened and ASM extents are sent to the ADVM driver.
There are two file types associated with ADVM volumes
- ASMVOL – The volume file which is the container for the volume storage
- ASMVDRL – The file that contains the volume's Dirty Region Logging (DRL) information. This file is required for re-silvering mirrors
Turn up the ADVM volume
It is not necessary to create a dedicated disk group for ADVM, but it does make sense to do so. That way we keep the database files separate from the ACFS files. Let's have a look at an example.
SQL> create diskgroup ACFS
disk 'ORCL:ASMDISK5', 'ORCL:ASMDISK6'
attribute 'COMPATIBLE.ASM' = '11.2', 'COMPATIBLE.ADVM' = '11.2';
Diskgroup created.
To be able to add volumes to a disk group, attributes COMPATIBLE.ASM and COMPATIBLE.ADVM must be set to at least '11.2'. Also the ADVM/ACFS drivers have to loaded (this is always done in cluster environments, but it may have to be done manually in a single instance setup).
I can now create couple of volumes in this disk group.
$ asmcmd volcreate -G ACFS -s 2G ACFS_VOL1
$ asmcmd volcreate -G ACFS -s 2G ACFS_VOL2
$ asmcmd volinfo -a
Diskgroup Name: ACFS

Note that there are no mount paths associated with the volumes as I haven't used them yet.
Let's now look at the ADVM volume metadata. First find the allocation units of the volume directory.
SQL> SELECT x.xnum_kffxp "Extent",
x.au_kffxp "AU",
x.disk_kffxp "Disk #",
d.name "Disk name"
FROM x$kffxp x, v$asm_disk_stat d
WHERE x.group_kffxp=d.group_number
and x.disk_kffxp=d.disk_number
and x.group_kffxp=2
and x.number_kffxp=7
ORDER BY 1, 2;
Extent AU Disk # Disk name

0 53 0 ASMDISK5
Use kfed to have a look at the actual metadata.

That was block 0 of the allocation unit 53. It only contains the marker for the ADVM volume (++AVD_DG_NUMBER). The actual volume info is in blocks 1 and up.

Block 1 of ASM metadata file 7 has the information about the first volume (kfvvde.volnm: ACFS_VOL1). Note that there are two files associated with that volume:
- DRL file (kfvvde.drlfnum.number: 256)
- Volume file (kfvvde.volfnum.number: 257)
Block 2 has the information about the second volume (kfvvde.volnm: ACFS_VOL2). There are also two files associated with that volume: - DRL file – kfvvde.drlfnum.number: 258
- Volume file – kfvvde.volfnum.number: 259
As these are special files, they are not shown in the output of 'asmcmd ls' command or when we query V$ASM_ALIAS. But they do show up in V$ASM_FILE view.
SQL> SELECT file_number "File #", bytes/1024/1024 "Size (MB)", type

Create ASM cluster file system
I can now use the volume device to create an ASM cluster file system (ACFS).
# /sbin/mkfs -t acfs /dev/asm/acfs_vol1-159
mkfs.acfs: version = 11.2.0.3.0
mkfs.acfs: on-disk version = 39.0
mkfs.acfs: volume = /dev/asm/acfs_vol1-159
mkfs.acfs: volume size = 2147483648
mkfs.acfs: Format complete.
# mkdir /acfs1
# mount -t acfs /dev/asm/acfs_vol1-159 /acfs1
# mount
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw)
...
oracleasmfs on /dev/oracleasm type oracleasmfs (rw)
/dev/asm/acfs_vol1-159 on /acfs1 type acfs (rw)
$ asmcmd volinfo -G ACFS ACFS_VOL1
Diskgroup Name: ACFS
Volume Name: ACFS_VOL1
Volume Device: /dev/asm/acfs_vol1-159
State: ENABLED
Size (MB): 2048
Resize Unit (MB): 32
Redundancy: MIRROR
Stripe Columns: 4
Stripe Width (K): 128
Usage: ACFS
Mountpath: /acfs1
$
Let's see if the mount path info now shows up in volume directory:
$ kfed read /dev/oracleasm/disks/ASMDISK6 aun=53 blkn=1 | grep mountpath
kfvvde.mountpath: /acfs1 ; 0x0b4: length=6
It does as expected.
Conclusion
One or more ADVM volume devices may be configured within each disk group. ASM Cluster File System (ACFS) is layered on ASM through the ADVM interface. ASM dynamic volume manager is another client of ASM - the same way the database is.
There are two internal file types associated with ASM volumes:
- ASMVOL – The volume file which is the container for the volume storage
- ASMVDRL – The file that contains the volume's Dirty Region Logging (DRL) information
