Disabling the Oracle Disk Manager feature
Since the Oracle Disk Manager feature uses regular files, you can access these
files as regular VxFS files as soon as the feature is disabled.
Note: To convert to VxFS with Quick I/O, disable Oracle Disk Manager using the
following procedure, then convert the files to Quick I/O files.
See “Converting Quick I/O files to Oracle Disk Manager files” on page 129.
Before disabling the Oracle Disk Manager feature, you may want to back up your
files.
