• 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

To avoid this error, do not use symbolic links to Quick I/O files. This issue applies to Oracle
version 10.1.0.2.

Running statistic tasks from the Web GUI is not supported when connecting to a 4.1 host.
If you try to run Create Statistic Task, the following error message will be displayed:

• Problem
The Oracle GUI does not support Oracle users having a different locale from the super user
locale. The GUI will display unintelligible characters if the SFO repository server starts with
a locale that is different from the Oracle user locale (client).
Workaround
The locale for Oracle GUI should be the same as the super user locale.
• Problem
Problems with display of deep mapping topology in PC-based UNIX emulators like Exceed.
Workaround
Use the Windows VEA client instead of running the UNIX VEA client using the emulators.
• Problem
You can click the Quota tab for the Storage Checkpoint available from the GUI. If the file
system and the Storage Checkpoint are on a version prior to Disk Layout Version 6, you
will see the unknown error code 4646.

For Disk Layout Version 5 and older, to display Storage Checkpoints Quotas from the GUI,
complete the following steps:
1. Using Veritas File System 3.5, create a file system.
2. Upgrade to Veritas File System 5.0, but do not upgrade the file system disk layout
version.
3. Create a checkpoint and then click the Quota tab accessible from the GUI.
