To enable Oracle file mapping with the Veritas storage mapping option
filemap.ora
exists and contains a valid entry for the Veritas mapping library for Oracle storage mapping.
# cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/filemap/etc
For 32-bit Oracle, the filemap.ora
file should contain the following setting:
lib=Veritas:/opt/VRTSdbed/lib/libvxoramap_32.so
For 64-bit Oracle, the filemap.ora
file should contain the following setting:
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.
Note
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.
