: Currently, I am getting an ASYNC error on a single database writer trace file.

: Oracle's description of the file it is a 'CHARACTER BLOCK DEVICE THAT IS NOT
: ASSOCIATED WITH A DEVICE', which sounds exactly like the HP's psuedo driver.

When I installed Sybase, I also had to (recommended) install the async drivers. I assume the process is the same for Oracle. There are some patches you need to get from HP.

8.07 PHKL-1017
9.01 PHKL-2162 There's another for 9.03, but I don't remember it nor have it handy. Check the patch list; it should be there.
