To extract a list of Oracle files to convert
◆
With the database instance up and running, run the qio_getdbfiles command
from a directory for which you have write permission:
$ cd /extract_directory
$ /opt/VRTSdbed/bin/qio_getdbfiles -T ora
The qio_getdbfiles command extracts the list file names from the database
system tables and stores the file names and their size in bytes in a file called
mkqio.dat under the current directory.
Note: Alternatively, you can manually create the mkqio.dat file containing
the Oracle database file names that you want to convert to use Quick I/O. You
can also manually edit the mkqio.dat file generated by qio_getdbfiles, and
remove files that you do not want to convert to Quick I/O files.
Note: To run the qio_getdbfiles command, you must have permission to
access the database and permission to write to the /extract_directory.
The mkqio.dat list file should look similar to the following:
file1 --> .file1::cdev:vxfs:
file2 --> .file2::cdev:vxfs:
file3 --> .file3::cdev:vxfs:
file4 --> .file4::cdev:vxfs:
file5 --> .file5::cdev:vxfs:
