Cause

Oracle Database Corruption Issues in FSS Environments when obj_ioship=on  is set on volumes under FSS diskgroup. When a volume is created under FSS disk group, obj_ioship is set to off by default and this can be set it on to enable IO ship at volume level.
 
Arctera tested with ODM and FSS with obj_ioship=off  ( which is default ) and did not see any corruption.
 
 

Resolution

The recommendation is to keep the  obj_ioship=off for all the volumes.
 
Command to change the ioship to off.
#  unmount the filesystem
# vxvol -g set obj_ioship=off

Note: In case VVR replication is configured, please pause the replication , make the changes and resume the replication

Command to check the ioship on or off

# vxprint -g -F %vol_ioship_capable

Note: Arctera engineering working to fix this problem in the upcoming versions. As of now, it is recommended to keep the default value for the IOSHIP.
