Setting up Veritas Extension for Oracle Disk Manager

Veritas Extension for Oracle Disk Manager is part of Veritas Storage Foundation Standard and Enterprise products. Veritas Extension for Oracle Disk Manager is enabled once your Veritas Storage Foundation Standard or Enterprise product and Oracle10g or later are installed. The Veritas Extension for Oracle Disk Manager library is linked to the library in the {ORACLE_HOME}/lib directory.

Before setting up Veritas Extension for Oracle Disk Manager, the following conditions must be met:

Prerequisites

  • A Veritas Storage Foundation Enterprise or Standard product must be installed on your system.

  • Oracle10g, or later, must be installed on your system.

  • If Cached Quick I/O is available, do not enable Oracle Disk Manager when Cached Quick I/O is enabled for datafiles.

Usage Notes

  • When the Quick I/O feature is available, Oracle Disk Manager uses the Quick I/O driver to perform asynchronous I/O. Do not turn off the Quick I/O mount option, which is the default.

  • Oracle uses default file access methods if Oracle10g or later or a Veritas Storage Foundation Standard or Enterprise product is not installed, or VxFS 5.0 or later is not available in the kernel.
