Veritas Storage Foundation for databases is required if you want to use the Veritas
Quick I/O, Veritas Extension for Oracle Disk Manager (ODM), Veritas QuickLog,
Storage Checkpoints and management interface features to enhance database
performance and manageability.
The Veritas Clustering Functionality for VxVM and Veritas Cluster File System
features of Veritas Storage Foundation for Cluster File System and Cluster File
System HA allow you to share data within a cluster. The HA version uses Veritas
Cluster Server to allow you to configure automated application and storage failover
to provide continuous availability of service.
Note: The Cached Quick I/O and QuickLog features are not supported for use with
Veritas Cluster File System. The Cached Quick I/O, Quick I/O and QuickLog features
are not supported at all on the Linux platform.
The database server products mentioned in this document may not be supported
on certain operating system platforms.
The following non-cluster specific components are used in the sample scenarios:
■ Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) is a disk management subsystem that supports
disk striping, disk mirroring, and simplified disk management for improved
data availability and superior performance. The FlashSnap license enables the
use of the persistent FastResync and Disk Group Split/Join features of VxVM.
■ Veritas File System (VxFS) is a high-performance, fast-recovery file system
that is optimized for business-critical database applications and data-intensive
workloads. VxFS offers online administration, letting you perform most
frequently scheduled maintenance tasks (including online backup, resizing,
and file system changes) without interrupting data or system availability. The
FlashSnap license enables the use of the Storage Checkpoints feature of VxFS.
You can also use the following cluster-specific components with the sample
scenarios where required:
