Hi Kathy,
Here is an excerpt from the Veritas Admin Guide. Chapter 3, Using VERITAS Quick I/O P69 Handling Oracle Temporary Tablespaces and Quick I/O You cannot convert temporary tablespaces using regular files to Quick I/O files. By default, qio_getdbfiles skips any tablespaces marked TEMPORARY because they can be sparse, which means that not all blocks in the file are allocated. Quick I/O files cannot be sparse, as Quick I/O provides a raw-type interface to storage. If a sparse file is converted to a Quick I/O file, the Oracle instance can fail if Oracle attempts to write into one of these unallocated blocks. You have the following options: You can create a new temporary tablespace using Quick I/O files. When you initially create a temporary tablespace on Quick I/O files, Oracle sees them as raw devices and does not create sparse files. You can drop your existing temporary tablespaces using regular files and recreate them using Quick I/O files. You can manually create the mkqio.dat file containing the Oracle database filenames that you want to convert to use Quick I/O, excluding Oracle tablespaces that are marked TEMPORARY from the list.

Right now we do not have the temp files converted to quick io and wonder if we should. The guy who installed Quick IO didn't seen to think we could but he was a pretty junior person. Anybody here have any experience with this?
