John, ODM is a standard created by Oracle for how the
database wishes to do I/O. Oracle published a standard
for how they would like to do I/O and Veritas created
an ODM compliant version for VxFS. ODM also leverages
the performance gains implemented in QIO. Veritas has
also added some management features that will help the
DBA. ODM is just like QIO in that will allow Oracle to
access the underlying storage without passing through
the actual filesystem give you more less raw I/O
performance. ODM also address some limitations of QIO
such as file resizing and allowing the use of file
names. Veritas provides the Libraries necessary for
Oracle to use as its I/O library. ODM also has
clustering extensions for RAC. This allows you to use
RAC on Cluster file systems with Veritas. Oracle does
not use file descriptors with ODM but use ODM
identifiers instead.
This all I know about ODM.
