New attribute SetFSPrimary replaces FsSetPriD daemon for Oracle secure file system (SecureFS) support

Secure file system (SecureFS) feature provides a way to protect your data from a corruption or a ransomware situation. For SecureFS to work correctly, the cluster file system must be marked as primary on the node where the Oracle resource is online. In the previous release, a new daemon, FsSetPriD, was introduced in Cluster Server (VCS) to mark the file system as primary where the Oracle DB is online. A separate Process agent resource had to be configured for the FsSetPriD daemon in the Oracle service group.

With this release, a new agent attribute, SetFSPrimary, is introduced that replaces the FsSetPriD daemon. The FsSetPriD daemon has been deprecated. You can now use the SetFSPrimary attribute to achieve the same functionality. If you are upgrading from InfoScale 8.0.2 release that contains a SecureFS configuration, then post InfoScale upgrade, you must delete the Process agent resource and then enable the SetFSPrimary attribute for ensuring that the SecureFS configuration works as intended.

These changes are applicable for Oracle Single Instance on Linux only.
