Re: creating raw devices on AIX

Hi John,

all logical volumes exist as raw devices but you usually then create a filesystem on them. If you create a logical volume called lv_raw for example, the raw device will be /dev/rlv_raw. So in oracle to use a raw device you just use datafile='/dev/rlv_raw', easy. Just not so easy to back up, unless you use rman!

Where can I find info on this?

The documentation refers me to the "Oracle 8i Administrators refence for AIX" but I cannot find it on-line
