- A Troubleshooting SGeRAC
NOTE: The SGeRAC command line interface depends on certain tablespace and container
information that is collected and stored in a repository. Some CLI commands update the repository
by default. It is also important to regularly ensure the repository is up-to-date by using the
dbed_update command.
NOTE: For SGeRAC database, when you issue the commands, replace $ORACLE_SID with
$ORACLE_SID=instance_name and provide the instance name on which the instance is
running.
Overview of Commands
SGeRAC commands supported in the command line interface are located in the /opt/VRTS/
bin directory. Online manual pages for these commands are located in the /opt/VRTS/man
directory.
Table 4-3 summarizes the commands available to you from the command line.
Table 4-3 Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC Commands
DescriptionCommand
Creates or updates the repository in Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC
dbed_update
Creates a Storage Checkpoint for an Oracle database
dbed_ckptcreate
Displays Storage Checkpoints associated with an Oracle instance
dbed_ckptdisplay
Mounts a Storage Checkpoint for an Oracle instance
dbed_ckptmount
Unmounts a Storage Checkpoint for an Oracle instance
dbed_ckptumount
Rolls back an Oracle instance to a Storage Checkpoint point-in-time image
dbed_ckptrollback
Removes a Storage Checkpoint for an Oracle instance
dbed_ckptremove
Creates a copy of an Oracle database by cloning all existing database files and
recreating the control file accordingly. This cloned database can only be started on
the same host as the existing database as long as it uses a different SID.
dbed_clonedb
Examples of Using the Command Line Interface
Review the examples for using the Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC command line
interface to perform administrative operations. For more detailed information about the commands
and their syntax and available options, see the individual manual pages.
