Re: Is Async IO being Used or NOT ?

One way to see if ODM is installed or not is to verify /dev/odm  (it's a directory):

$ ls -l /dev/odm
total 0
-rw-rw-rw-   1 root     system            0 Nov 06 17:08 cluster
-rw-rw-rw-   1 root     system            0 Nov 06 17:08 ctl
-rw-rw-rw-   1 root     system            0 Nov 06 17:08 ktrace
-rw-rw-rw-   1 root     system            0 Nov 06 17:08 stats


As I understand, ODM was developed by Veritas and Oracle together, but as for the setup it probably needs to go through Veritas.

Subject: RE: Is Async IO being Used or NOT ?

 
Some basic Qs on ODM
LSC, Folksbelow
 
	1. How is it possible to check if ODM(Oracle Disk Manager)  is setup or NOT on the machine?
	2. Does ODM need a Separate Setup on HP-VXFS? .. Is it separated Licensed? If so by who - Oracle Corp or HP?
 
Am assuming that HP-UX
uses VXFS by Default.
 
Cheers & Thanks V
much

aio is only posible with
raw devices in hp-ux unless you use odm on vxfs

Thanks

Qs 1 - What HP-UX
Command gives the existing filesystemio_options settings for the mounted filesystem ?
NOTE - Init.ora parameter disk_async_io=true
(default)
Qs 2 � For Async IO to work, is there a
dependency or NOT on the existence of the file "/dev/async" ? � This file does NOT exist Currently
� Is the presence of this file merely to suppress the below Error Message

Oracle Trace
Files currently contain the Message:-
