Veritas Storage Foundation™ for Oracle 5.0.1 Administrator's Guide

■ The permissions for fmputl are set to -r-xr-x---.

If any of these items is not set as specified, make the appropriate corrections.

To verify the ORCLfmap direcotries are set up properly

Enter:

# cd /opt/ORCLfmap

# ls -ld prot1_32 prot1_64

Verify that both directories are owned by root and are writable only by root

(have drwxr-xr-x permissions).

If needed, change the ownership and permissions for these directories.

Enabling Oracle file mapping

You need to explicitly enable Oracle file mapping. By default it is initially disabled.

To enable Oracle file mapping with the Veritas Storage Mapping option

Ensure that the file filemap.ora exists and contains a valid entry for the

Veritas mapping library for Oracle file mapping.

# cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/filemap/etc

# cat filemap.ora

For 64-bit Oracle, the filemap.ora file should contain the following setting:

lib=Veritas:/opt/VRTSdbed/lib/libvxoramap_64.so

lib=Veritas:/opt/VRTSdbed/lib/libvxoramap_64.so for PA

lib=Veritas:/opt/VRTSdbed/lib/libvxoramap_64.sl for IA

After verifying that the system is using the Veritas library for Oracle file

mapping, set the file_mapping initialization parameter to true.

SQL> alter system set file_mapping=true;

The file_mapping initialization parameter is set to false by default. You do

not need to shut down the instance to set this parameter. Setting

file_mapping=true starts the FMON background process.

If you want storage mapping to be enabled whenever you start up an instance,

set the file_mapping initialization parameter to true in the init.ora file.
