Setting Up VERITAS Extension for Oracle Disk Manager
VERITAS Extension for Oracle Disk Manager is part of VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle.
VERITAS Extension for Oracle Disk Manager is enabled once VERITAS Storage Foundation for
Oracle and Oracle9i or later are installed, and the VERITAS Extension for Oracle Disk Manager
library is linked to the library in the {ORACLE_HOME}/lib directory.
Note Because Oracle Disk Manager uses the Quick I/O driver to perform asynchronous I/O, do
not turn off the Quick I/O mount option, which is the default.
Prerequisites
◆ VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle must be installed on your system.
◆ Oracle9i, or later, must be installed on your system.
◆ Do not enable Oracle Disk Manager when Cached Quick I/O is enabled for datafiles.
Note Oracle uses default file access methods if Oracle9i or later or VERITAS Storage Foundation
for Oracle is not installed, or VxFS 3.5 is not available in the kernel.
