Classifying volumes into a storage class for Database Dynamic Storage Tiering using dbdst_classify

Before creating a DST policy or manually moving data, assign classes to your volumes.

Before assigning classes to volumes, review the following information:

Usage notes

  • You must convert your VxFS file system to a multi-volume file system first.

  • Storage classes must be registered using the dbdst_admin command before assigning classes to volumes.

  • The database can be online or offline.

To classify a volume

For example, to assign the class "FAST" to volume new_vol1, use the dbdst_classify command as follows:

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbdst_classify -S $ORACLE_SID -M /dev/vx/dsk/oradg/oradata \
-v new_vol1:FAST
