Disabling the Oracle Disk Manager Feature

Because the Oracle Disk Manager feature uses regular files, you can access these files as regular VxFS files as soon as the feature is disabled.

Note   Note    To convert to VxFS with Quick I/O, disable the Oracle Disk Manager using the steps below. Then, see Converting Oracle Files to Quick I/O Files for more information.

  To disable the Oracle Disk Manager feature in an Oracle instance

  1. Shut down the database instance.
  2. Use the rm and the ln commands to remove the link to the Oracle Disk Manager Library as follows:

    For Oracle 10g


        # rm ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm10.sl
    # ln -s ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodmd10.sl ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm10.sl

    For Oracle9i


       # rm ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm9.sl
    # ln -s ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodmd9.sl ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libodm9.sl
  3. Restart the database instance.
    Note   Note    Before disabling the Oracle Disk Manager feature, you may want to back up your files.
