If you use raw devices to contain the databases, run the following commands on the current disk-group primary to change each device's owner, group, and mode.
If you do not use raw devices, do not perform this step.
If you create raw devices, run the following command for each raw device.
# vxedit -g diskgroup set user=oracle group=dba mode=600 volume |
Specifies the name of the disk group
Specifies the name of the raw device within the disk group
Verify that the changes are effective.
# ls -lL /dev/vx/rdsk/diskgroup/volume |
Synchronize the device group with the cluster to keep the VxVM namespace consistent throughout the cluster.
# cldevicegroup sync diskgroup |
