Hi,
We’re just testing on the HIT Kit for Linux 1.2 with ASM functionality. I’m reading that prior to taking the snapshot, ASM freezes the file system and then thaws it once the snapshot is complete, stating that the smart copies created are application consistent. Is this ASM/LE Oracle-aware meaning if the file system contains Oracle data files, does the ASM freeze action also quiesce I/O to Oracle? I’m aware that the ASM/ME is SQL Server-aware and quiesces that I/O. Or are we still responsible for scripting something in conjunction with ASM to quiesce Oracle I/O during the snapshot? If so, are there any example scripts of this available on the support site?
Thank you,
Ryan
