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

To enable Oracle file mapping with the Veritas Storage Mapping option

Ensure that the file filemap.ora exists and contains a valid entry for the

Veritas mapping library for Oracle file mapping.

# cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/filemap/etc

# cat filemap.ora

For 64-bit Oracle, the filemap.ora file should contain the following setting:

lib=Veritas:/opt/VRTSdbed/lib/libvxoramap_64.so

lib=Veritas:/opt/VRTSdbed/lib/libvxoramap_64.so for PA

lib=Veritas:/opt/VRTSdbed/lib/libvxoramap_64.sl for IA

After verifying that the system is using the Veritas library for Oracle file

mapping, set the file_mapping initialization parameter to true.

SQL> alter system set file_mapping=true;

The file_mapping initialization parameter is set to false by default. You do

not need to shut down the instance to set this parameter. Setting

file_mapping=true starts the FMON background process.

If you want storage mapping to be enabled whenever you start up an instance,

set the file_mapping initialization parameter to true in the init.ora file.

Accessing dynamic performance views

After enabling file mapping, map Oracle datafiles with the DBMS_STORAGE_MAP

package and use SQL commands to display the mapping information captured in

Oracle's dynamic performance views.
