Veritas Storage Foundation™ for Oracle 5.0.1 Administrator's Guide

■ An Oracle database must be up and running.
■ Run the dbed_update command before running any of the
Database Dynamic Storage Tiering commands. You should also
run the dbed_update command if any of the database files change.
Because the Database Dynamic Storage Tiering commands retrieve
database information from the repository, the repository must be
up to date.
■ Change the owner of the mount point on which you want to
implement Database Dynamic Storage Tiering to oracle.
Prerequisites
■ Only the Oracle database administrator can run Database Dynamic
Storage Tiering commands.
■ If you are using any of the Database Dynamic Storage Tiering
commands in a high availability (HA) environment, the time on
each system in the cluster must be synchronized.
■ Create the volumes that you want to add to the multi-volume file
system in the same disk group as the file system volume. As root,
use the following command to change the owner of each volume:
# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxedit -g disk_group \
set user=oracle volume
