To link the Veritas extension for Oracle Disk Manager library into Oracle home for
Oracle9i
1
Shut down the database instance before linking the Oracle Disk Manager
library.
2
Use the mv and ln commands as follows.
For HP-UX PA, enter:
# mv ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm9.sl \
${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm9.sl.orig
# ln -s /opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm.sl \
${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm9.sl
For HP-UX IA, enter:
# mv ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm9.so \
${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm9.so.orig
# ln -s /opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm.sl \
${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm9.so
When Oracle Disk Manager is enabled, a message similar to the following is
sent to the alert log: "Oracle instance running with ODM: Veritas #.#
ODM Library, Version #.#."
When the system and instance are configured correctly, the Oracle Disk
Manager feature is used, by default, for accessing any database storage.
3
Start the database instance after linking the Oracle Disk Manager library.
How to prepare existing database storage for Oracle
Disk Manager
Non-Quick I/O files in a VxFS file system work with Oracle Disk Manager without
any changes. The files are found and identified for Oracle Disk Manager I/O by
default. To take full advantage of Oracle Disk Manager datafiles, files should not
be fragmented.
If you are using Quick I/O files in a VxFS file system and you want to move to
Oracle Disk Manager, convert the Quick I/O files to normal files using the
qio_convertdbfiles -u command.
You must be running Oracle9i or later to use Oracle Disk Manager.
