When Oracle Disk Manager is enabled, a message similar to the following is
sent to the alert log: "Oracle instance running with ODM: Veritas #.#

Disk Manager
Non-Quick I/O files in a VxFS file system work with Oracle Disk Manager without
any changes. The files are found and identified for Oracle Disk Manager I/O by
default. To take full advantage of Oracle Disk Manager datafiles, files should not
be fragmented.
If you are using Quick I/O files in a VxFS file system and you want to move to
Oracle Disk Manager, convert the Quick I/O files to normal files using the
qio_convertdbfiles -u command.
You must be running Oracle9i or later to use Oracle Disk Manager.
