Setting up Veritas Extension for Oracle Disk Manager

Veritas Extension for Oracle Disk Manager is part of Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability. Veritas Extension for Oracle Disk Manager is enabled once Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability 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.

If you are performing a local Oracle installation, not on the Cluster file system, then ODM linking needs to be performed on all nodes in the cluster.

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

Prerequisites

  • Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability must be installed on your system.

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

Usage Notes

  • Oracle uses default file access methods if Oracle10g or later, Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability is not installed, or VxFS 5.1 SP1 is not available in the kernel.
