If you are using Oracle VM, run
switch_to_ovm.sh
on each database server. The
database servers will reboot.
For example:
# /opt/oracle.SupportTools/switch_to_ovm.sh
2014-12-07 11:58:36 -0800 [INFO] Switch to DOM0 system partition /dev/VGExaDb/
LVDbSys3 (/dev/mapper/VGExaDb-LVDbSys3)
2014-12-07 11:58:36 -0800 [INFO] Active system device: /dev/mapper/VGExaDb-
LVDbSys1
2014-12-07 11:58:36 -0800 [INFO] Active system device in boot area: /dev/mapper/
VGExaDb-LVDbSys1
2014-12-07 11:58:36 -0800 [INFO] Set active systen device to /dev/VGExaDb/
LVDbSys3 in /boot/I_am_hd_boot
2014-12-07 11:58:36 -0800 [INFO] Reboot has been initiated to switch to the DOM0
system partition

Run
reclaimdisks.sh
on each database server.
The
/opt/oracle.SupportTools/reclaimdisks.sh -free -reclaim
command reclaims disk space reserved for the deployment type not selected. The
command takes less than 5 minutes, approximately. Systems are imaged with
disks configured with RAID5; a RAID rebuild is no longer part of the
reclaimdisks.sh
process.
Do not skip this step. Skipping this step results in unused space that can no longer
be reclaimed by
reclaimdisks.sh
.
For example:
# /opt/oracle.SupportTools/reclaimdisks.sh -free -reclaim
