• Problem Removing the SFO respository database using the sfua_db_config -o dropdb command does not remove the /etc/vx/vxdbed/.odbc.ini file. Workaround After running sfua_db_config -o dropdb, manually remove .odbc.ini using the rm command: rm /etc/vx/vxdbed/.odbc.
The maximum class name length is 29 characters. • Problem The tablespace folder is empty when the Oracle database is started from the Oracle GUI, without running the dbed_update command from the command line. Re-scanning from the Oracle GUI does not solve the problem. Workaround Run the dbed_update command from the command line before starting an Oracle database from the GUI.
• Problem The sfua_db_config -o startdb command does not print a message to indicate whether the SFO repository database was successfully started or not. Workaround Check for the success or failure by subsequently running the following command: sfua_db_config -o dbstatus • Problem If a database contains a symbolic link to Quick I/O files, Oracle 10g displays the following error: ORA-27094: raw volume can not be used Workaround To avoid this error, do not use symbolic links to Quick I/O files.

Ensure this new directory is included in SQLPATH, for example: export SQLPATH=~oracle/sql:$SQLPATH 3. 4. Do not make SQLPATH read-only, so that SFO scripts can unset it at runtime. Avoid starting SFO scripts from the directory where login.sql resides, unless you are sure that login.
