Folks
Qs Should the "b" (block device) file - /dev/vg02/rawdb1 OR the "c" (character
device) file - /dev/vg02/rrawdb1 be used?
Have used BOTH names without success.
NOTE - This is a NON-ASM, NON-RAC Oracle Setup with Database on Mounted
Filesystem.
An Old Oracle ver 8 metalink Doc 1051188.6 indicates that Oracle uses only "c"
- character device files as raw devices.
Oracle 10.2.0.3.0
HP-UX B.11.23
Cheers
