<P>Need help with a problem.</P>
<P>I've got a Solaris 8 system, running Veritas 3.1.1.</P>
<P>So total 'actual' disk space is over 2.1TB</P>
<P>Also has a 1TB+ oracle 8i database running on it.</P>
<P>The filesystems are mirrored with Veritas, but formatted ufs. What is the best/simplest way to convert these to 'raw' fstypes ( at the DBAs request ) without backing up to tape and restoring? Is there a way to do this?</P>
<P>Complicating factor -- organization does not possess a tape library capable of backing this up by filesystem, so I would have to build a 100 GB scratch zone, format it raw, and then....what?</P>
<P>Need all your experience/thoughts on this.</P>
<P>Many thanks,</P>
