Disabling the Oracle Disk Manager feature

Because the Oracle Disk Manager feature uses regular files, you can access these files as regular VxFS files as soon as the feature is disabled.

Note:

Before disabling the Oracle Disk Manager feature, you may want to back up your files.

To disable the Oracle Disk Manager feature in an Oracle instance

  1. Shut down the database instance.

  2. Use the rm and the ln commands to remove the link to the Oracle Disk Manager Library as follows:

    For Oracle 11g, enter:

    # rm ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm11.so
# ln -s ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodmd11.so \
${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm11.so

    For Oracle 10g, enter:

    # rm ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm10.so
# ln -s ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodmd10.so \
${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm10.so

    For Oracle9i, enter:

    # rm ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm9.so
# ln -s ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodmd9.so \
${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm9.so

  3. Restart the database instance.
