Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle 5.0 Administrator's Guide, HP-UX 11i v3, Second Edition, December 2008

To verify that Oracle Disk Manager is running

Start the Oracle database.

Check that the instance is using the Oracle Disk Manager function:

# cat /dev/odm/stats

# echo $?

Verify that the Oracle Disk Manager is loaded:

# /usr/sbin/kcmodule -P state odm

state loaded

In the alert log, verify the Oracle instance is running. The log should contain

output similar to the following:

Oracle instance running with ODM: Veritas #.# ODM Library,

Version #.#

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

steps below. Then, convert the files to Quick I/O files.

See “Converting Quick I/O files to Oracle Disk Manager files” on page 128.

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

your files.
