Veritas InfoScale™ 8.0.2 Storage and Availability Management for Oracle Databases - AIX, Linux, Solaris

To verify that Oracle Disk Manager is configured

1. Verify that the ODM feature is included in the license:

   # /opt/VRTS/bin/vxlicrep | grep ODM
   				

   QLOGODM                    = Enabled
      ODM                                 = Enabled

   The output verifies that ODM is enabled.

   Note:

   Verify that the license key containing the ODM feature is not expired. If the license key has expired, you will not be able to use the ODM feature.

2. Check that the VRTSodm package is installed:

   Solaris:

   # pkginfo VRTSodm

   AIX:

   # lslpp -L VRTSodm

   Linux:

   # rpm -qa | grep VRTSodm

   or

   # rpm -qi VRTSodm

3. Check that the Veritas ODM library, libodm64.so or libodm.so is present; for example:

   For AIX, use # ls -lL /opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm64.so.

   For Linux, use # ls -lL /opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm64.so.

   For Solaris, use # ls -lL /usr/lib/sparcv9/libodm.so.

To verify that Oracle Disk Manager is running

1. Start the Oracle database.
2. Check that the instance is using the Oracle Disk Manager function:

   # cat /dev/odm/stats
   # echo $?
   0

3. Verify that the Oracle Disk Manager is loaded:

   Solaris:

   # modinfo | grep ODM | grep VRTS
   293 7b6d2000 18078  30   1   odm (VRTS ODM 7.4.1.0,REV=internal-b)
   

   Linux:

   # lsmod | grep odm
   vxodm   164480  1
   fdd 78976 1 vxodm

   AIX:

   You can use the genkld or the genkex commands:

   # genkld | grep odm
   or
   # genkex | grep odm
   	
   
           d05a3100    22182 /usr/lib/libodm.a[shr.o]
    90000001c0ec000    1675 /ora_base/db_home/lib/libodm12.so
    900000000bbf000    1059e /opt/VRTSodm/lib/libodm64.so
    90000000043d300    24167 /usr/lib/libodm.a[shr_64.o]
   bash-3.2# genkex | grep odm
   f1000000c037a000    27000 /usr/lib/drivers/vxodm.ext_71
   

4. In the alert log, verify the Oracle instance is running. The log should contain output similar to the following:

   Oracle instance running with ODM:
   Veritas 7.4.1.0000 ODM Library, Version 2.0
