VERITAS Storage Foundation 4.1 Release Notes

Software Limitations
26 VERITAS Storage Foundation Release Notes
Oracle Disk Manager Limitations
◆ 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. The default option is the correct option to use.
◆ Using Oracle Disk Manager with Cached Quick I/O enabled is not supported and could cause
your system to panic [34281]. To avoid a system panic, ensure the following:
◆ If you are using Oracle Disk Manager, do not enable Cached Quick I/O on your file
system.
◆ If you are converting from Quick I/O to Oracle Disk Manager, make sure you disable
Cached Quick I/O.
Clone Database ORACLE_SID Character Limit
When cloning an Oracle instance using the dbed_clonedb or dbed_vmclonedb command,
the clone database’s ORACLE_SID can be only eight characters or less. You will receive an error
(ERROR V-81-5713) if the ORACLE_SID is more the eight characters.
Renaming Columns in login.sql
Renaming columns in login.sql can sometimes cause scripts to fail or produce incorrect
results. To prevent this, make the following changes in the user environment to generally avoid
loading login.sql:
1. Move login.sql to another directory, for example, to ~oracle/login.sql.
2. Make sure this new directory is included in SQLPATH, for example:
export SQLPATH=~oracle/sql:$SQLPATH
