-### Oracle RAC Storage container for Docker Host
-
-To use NFS volumes in containers, you must install NFS server RPMs on the Podman host:
-
-```bash
-yum install -y nfs-utils
-```
-#### Prerequisites for an Oracle RAC Storage Container for Docker Host
-
-Create a placeholder for NFS storage, and ensure that it is empty:
-```bash
-export ORACLE_DBNAME=ORCLCDB
-mkdir -p /scratch/docker_volumes/asm_vol/$ORACLE_DBNAME
-rm -rf /scratch/docker_volumes/asm_vol/$ORACLE_DBNAME/asm_disk0*
-```
-
-#### Deploying Oracle RAC Storage Container for Docker Host
-

-export ORACLE_DBNAME=ORCLCDB
-docker run -d -t \
---hostname racnode-storage \
---dns-search=example.info  \

 **IMPORTANT:** During the container startup, five files with the name  `asm_disk0[1-5].img` will be created under `/oradata`. If the files are already present, then they will not be recreated. These files can be used for ASM storage in Oracle RAC containers.
 
 **NOTE**: Place the directory in a container that has at least 60 GB. In the preceding example, we are using `/scratch/stage/rac-storage/$ORACLE_DBNAME`. Change these values according to your environment. Inside the container, the directory will be `/oradata`. Do not change this value.
