Verifying that Oracle Disk Manager is configured

Before verifying that Oracle Disk Manager is configured, make sure that the following conditions are met:

Prerequisites	/opt/VRTSodm/lib64/libodm.so must exist. If you are using 64 bit Oracle9i, $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm9.so is linked to /opt/VRTSodm/lib/sparcv9/libodm.so. If you are using Oracle 10g, $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm10.so is linked to /opt/VRTSodm/lib/sparcv9/libodm.so. If you are using Oracle 11g, $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm11.so is linked to /opt/VRTSodm/lib/sparcv9/libodm.so. If you are using Oracle10g on Opteron Operating System, $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm10.so is linked to /opt/VRTSodm/lib/amd64/libodm.so.
Prerequisites	/opt/VRTSodm/lib64/libodm.so must exist. If you are using Oracle9i, $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm9.so is linked to /opt/VRTSodm/lib64/libodm.so. If you are using Oracle 10g, $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm10.so is linked to /opt/VRTSodm/lib64/libodm.so. If you are using Oracle 11g, $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm11.so is linked to /opt/VRTSodm/lib64/libodm.so. The VRTSdbed license must be valid. The VRTSodm package must be installed.
Prerequisites	`/opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm64.so` must exist. If you are using Oracle9i, `$ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm9`.so is linked to `/opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm64.so`. If you are using Oracle 10g, `$ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm10.so` is linked to `/opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm64.so`. If you are using Oracle 11g, $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm11.so is linked to /opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm64.so. The VRTSdbed license must be valid. The VRTSodm package must be installed.

To verify that Oracle Disk Manager is configured

Check the VRTSdbed license:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxlictest -n "VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle" \
-f "ODM"

ODM feature is licensed

Check that the VRTSodm package is installed:

# lslpp -L VRTSodm

Fileset			Level		 State  Type  Description (Uninstaller)
------------------------------------------------------------
VRTSodm			5.0.x.x			C	F		Veritas Extension for
																									Oracle Disk Manager

State codes:
A -- Applied.
B -- Broken.
C -- Committed.
O -- Obsolete.  (partially migrated to newer version)
? -- Inconsistent State...Run lppchk -v.



Type codes:
F -- Installp Fileset
P -- Product
C -- Component
T -- Feature
R -- RPM Package

Check that libodm.so is present.

# ls -lL /opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm64.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 14336 Apr 25 18:42 
/opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm.so

Note:

You can also use the dbed_checkconfig command, which is installed with Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle to check these conditions. See the dbed_checkconfig(1M) manual page for more information.

To verify that Oracle Disk Manager is running

Start the Oracle database.
Check that the instance is using the Oracle Disk Manager function:
```
# cat /dev/odm/stats
# echo $?
0
```

Verify that the Oracle Disk Manager is loaded:

modinfo | grep ODM | grep VRTS
162 7b76c000  184a0  25   1  odm (VRTS ODM 5.0.10.00,REV=MP1u)

# /usr/sbin/kcmodule -P state odm
state loaded

You can use the genkld or the genkex commands:

# genkld |grep odm
or
# genkex |grep odm

In the alert log, verify the Oracle instance is running. The log should contain output similar to the following:
```
Oracle instance running with ODM: Veritas #.# ODM Library, 
Version #.#
```
