ODM - Oracle disk manager in 11i

[Mario_88]

Hello:

To improve IO performance we are thinking about moving oracle 9i and 10g from file systems to raw devices
. We are a bit scared about the complexity of managing raw devices and I have read
that ODM offers a similar performance than raw devices. Is ODM purchased from veritas-hp or it comes in default vxfs bundles?

HPUX 11.11

regards.

Mario,

As far as I know ODM comes with the database edition product for Veritas which do not come as standard

Hello Mario,

you will get ODM with the following product from HP: EOE Storage Management for Oracle
Premium product (T2792BA).

With this bundle, you base your storage stack on the following Veritas products:

DMP
VxVM (Full)
FxFS (OnlineJFS)
ODM

Note that ODM works only with VxVM based volumes.

Wether this bundle is available for 11.11 I don't know since it is based on Veritas
Storage Foundation V4.1.

Best Regards,

Arnold
