Converting a VxFS file system to a VxFS multi-volume file system
To convert your existing VxFS file system to a VxFS multi-volume file system,
you must convert a single volume to a volume set.
Converting a single volume to a volume set
When you convert to a volume set using the dbdst_convert command, the original
volume will be renamed to a new volume name. The mount device name will
become the new volume set name. Creating the new volume set name with the
mount device name nullifies the need to rename the mount device in various
locations.
Before converting to a volume set, make sure the following conditions have been
met:
■ The Oracle database must be shutdown.
■ Create at least one additional volume.
