Veritas InfoScale supports real-time migration of single instance Oracle databases hosted on Oracle ASM disks to VxFS systems mounted over VxVM disks.

The migration requires a source system on which the primary database is hosted on Oracle ASM disks and a target that serves as a standby during the migration. That target contains VxVM disks on which the Veritas File System is mounted. The target disks can be on the same host as the primary database or on a different host.

The migration is performed by the script ASM2VxFS. The script creates the standby database on the designated VxFS mount point and automates most of the necessary configuration tasks such as preparing the primary and standby databases for migration, configuring the listener on the standby and other configuration changes.
