Disabling the Oracle Disk Manager feature

Since the Oracle Disk Manager feature uses regular files, you can access these

files as regular VxFS files as soon as the feature is disabled.

Note: To convert to VxFS with Quick I/O, disable Oracle Disk Manager using the

following procedure, then convert the files to Quick I/O files.

See “Converting Oracle files to Quick I/O files” on page 92.

Before disabling the Oracle Disk Manager feature, you may want to back up your

files.
