ACFS-03917
Oracle Database Error ACFS-03917: Snapshot Name Length Exceeded
Description
This error indicates that Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (ACFS) was unable to create a volume snapshot because the automatically generated default name for that snapshot surpassed the maximum allowed byte length. This typically occurs when the base volume name or other contributing factors lead to an excessively long default snapshot identifier.
Error Message
Unable to create volume snapshot because generated default name exceeds number bytes in length.
Known Causes
3 known causesExcessive Base Volume Name Length
The name of the Oracle ACFS volume itself is very long, causing the derived default snapshot name to also exceed the maximum allowed length.
Lengthy Snapshot Naming Context
Other elements that ACFS uses to construct the default snapshot name (e.g., parent directory path, timestamp, or metadata) are collectively too long.
ACFS Internal Naming Logic Limits
The combination of the volume name and the additional characters ACFS automatically appends to form the default snapshot name exceeds the internal length limit for snapshot names.
