Parameters

Parameter Description 
path_to_voting_disk

A fully qualified path to the voting file you want to add. To add multiple voting files, separate each path with a space.

 
-purge

Removes all existing voting files at once. You can replace the existing set of voting files in one operation.

Usage Notes

  • You should have at least three voting files, unless you have a storage device, such as a disk array, that provides external redundancy. Oracle recommends that you do not use more than 5 voting files. The maximum number of voting files that is supported is 15.
