Hi list, In my system, two host(Sun F280R) are connecting to two external storages 3310(JBOD) via scsi cables. VxVM is installed in the system, with which a lot of volumes are created. One storage is power off today as the result of the hardware problem of the power-supplier. A lot o

The opteron processors are little endian and Sparc is big endian, so you do need to perform step 4 - more info available in the fscdsconv(1m) man page. I don't know Oracle well enough to know if their formats are identical on Solaris sparc and Solaris opteron, and whether they are endian neutral (v

I suspect that you'll have to coordinate with your DBA to get oracle to work correctly on the new platform. while the FS and VM will make the files appear correctly on each platform there are no guarantees that oracle uses identical data formats across platforms. Oracle developed something they c

Hi Doug, Thanks for your reply... Still I have one question How do you know the volume is unusable already??? In other words, if it's unusable, why it is "enabled" and "active" in the output of vxprint Thanks Regards Wang Kaiyi Doug Hughes
