Verifying that Oracle Disk Manager is Configured

To verify the configuration of the Oracle Disk Manager, make sure the following Prerequisites are satisfied.

Prerequisites

• The VRTSdbed license must be valid.
• The VRTSodm package must be installed.
• /opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm.sl must exist.
• If you are using Oracle9i, $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm9.sl is linked to /opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm.sl
• If you are using Oracle 10g, $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm10.sl is linked to /opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm.sl

  To verify that Oracle Disk Manager is configured

1. Check the VRTSdbed license:

   # /opt/VRTS/bin/vxlictest -n "VERITAS Storage Foundation for \ Oracle" -f "ODM"

   
      Using VERITAS License Manager API Version  3.00, Build 2
      ODM feature is licensed
      # /opt/VRTS/bin/vxlictest -n "VERITAS Database Edition for \
       Oracle" -f "ODM"
      VERITAS License Manager vxlictest Utility Version 3.00, Build 2
      Copyright (C) VERITAS Software Corp 2002. All Rights reserved.
   
      Using VERITAS License Manager API Version  3.00, Build 2
      ODM feature is licensed

   Check that the VRTSodm package is installed:

   
      # swlist VRTSodm
      # VRTSodm           3.5-ga14       VERITAS Oracle Disk Manager
      VRTSodm.ODM-KRN           3.5-ga14       VERITAS ODM kernel files
      VRTSodm.ODM-MAN           3.5-ga14       VERITAS ODM manual pages
      VRTSodm.ODM-RUN           3.5-ga14       VERITAS ODM commands
2. Check that libodm.sl is present.
      # ls -lL /opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm.sl
     -rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 14336 Apr 25 18:42 /opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm.sl
3. Check that libodm.sl is linked:

   For Oracle 10g

   
      # cmp $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm10.sl /opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm.sl
      # echo $?
      0

   For Oracle9i

   
      # cmp $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm9.sl /opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm.sl
      # echo $?
      0

   ---

     Note    You can also use the dbed_checkconfig command, which is installed with VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle to check these conditions. See Checking Oracle Configuration Environment Using dbed_checkconfig or the dbed_checkconfig(1M) manual page for more information.

  To verify that Oracle Disk Manager is running:

1. Start the Oracle database.
2. Check that the instance is using the Oracle Disk Manager function:
      # cat /dev/odm/stats 
      # echo $?
      0
3. 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 4.1 ODM Library,
   Version 1.1
