Re: Please help: Oracle9i/AIX5.2/Veritas vxvm raw devices Problem

Thanks again for the help.

As I indicated in the original posting, the create database script worked on raw devices if controlled by the AIX LVM. BUT, for some reason is not doing this if I use Raw devices controlled by the Vertias VM (vxvm).

Question:
The database that you built a month ago with AIX was it using the Veritas raw devices instead of the AIX raw devices?

(I only get it to work with Veritas if I play a trick, the hard way, by renaming the database files to the veritas raw devices, alter database rename datafile '/../../system01.dbf' to '/dev/vx/rdsk/oradg/system01'
but this should not be the case)

Thanks in advance,
