Hello,

I am trying to create a database using DBCA on both raw devices and UFS.
I want my tablespaces and redo log files on raw devices, e.g /dev/vx/rdsk/system_raw_dev, and my control files on a mounted filesystem, e.g /opt/oracle/MY_SID/oradata/ctl/control1.ctl.

I have exported the text file that contains the list of the raw devices,
export DBCA_RAW_CONFIG=/tmp/oraRaw

But when I am trying to create the database it assumes as well that my control files are located also in raw devices and not filesystems. I get an error saying that it can't locate the raw device for my control files.

Is there any way to mix both raw devices and mounted filesystem when I create a database using dbca?

Thanks for your help
