Maintaining Your System Configuration
VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle maintains a repository that stores the pertinent
information needed to display configuration information. This repository is located at
/etc/vx/vxdba/$ORACLE_SID. When the database configuration changes, the information
stored in the repository may not be up-to-date. You can rescan, or refresh, database instances,
datafiles, and tablespaces to make sure system information is up-to-date.
The GUI also allows you to check and save the configuration of each Oracle database instance on
your system. Information on all volumes, file systems and their types, and disk groups can be
displayed.
