Linking the ODM library

Perform the steps in the procedure on each node if the Oracle libraries are on local storage. If the Oracle libraries are installed on shared storage, copy the libraries on one node only. Use the mount command to check that the file system containing the Oracle libraries are mounted.

To link the Veritas ODM library

  1. Log in as the Oracle user.
  2. Change to the $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory:
    $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib
  3. Back up Oracle's ODM library:
    $ mv libodm11.so libodm11.so.oracle-'date +%m_%d_%Y-%H_%M_%S'
  4. Link the Veritas ODM library with Oracle's libodm library:
    $ cp /opt/VRTSodm/lib64/libodm.so libodm11.so
