About Veritas Extension for Oracle Disk Manager

The features of ODM are best suited for the Oracle databases that reside in a Veritas File System (VxFS). ODM allows users to improve database throughput for I/O intensive workloads with special I/O optimization.

The Veritas Extension for ODM must be installed and configured in the global environment of AIX. You can administer the Veritas Extension for ODM only from the global environment.
