Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Move from Veritas to ASM
Fairlie,
Interesting...I do see a good rea$on for moving to ASM from Veritas. There are lot of people using ASM with Veritas Cluster.but not on VxFS . I am not sure whether that (ASM onVxFS) is supported (technically it will work, if there is no cache/QIO is enabled) or not. ASM just needs disks (or some storage exposed to ASM as Disks) and if you can expose (!) VxFS volumes as ASM disks, ASM will happily manage the disks. But it is like running a multi engine (cascaded) passenger car...;) hope you understand what I mean.:D
I know some one in this list(racdba) who has done that excercise recently. Let us know if you have any specific question.
