Veritas File System 5.1 SP1 Administrator"s Guide (5900-1499, April 2011)

Note: If you are running an earlier version of Oracle (Oracle 8.x or lower), you
should not convert your Quick I/O files because Oracle Disk Manager is for
Oracle10g or later only.
The Oracle Disk Manager uses the Quick I/O driver to perform asynchronous I/O,
do not turn off the Quick I/O mount option, which is the default.
To convert Quick I/O files to Oracle Disk Manager files
1
As Oracle DBA, run qio_getdbfiles to retrieve a list of all datafiles.
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/qio_getdbfiles -T ora -a
The list is compiled in a file named mkqio.dat.
2
Shutdown the database.
3
As Oracle DBA, run qio_convertdbfiles in the directory containing the
mkqio.dat file. The qio_convertdbfiles script converts all Quick I/O files
to ODM files.
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/qio_convertdbfiles -T ora -u
4
Restart the database instance.
