Table 4-5 Create Storage Checkpoint Notes
You must be logged on as the database administrator (typically, the user ID oracle).
For best recoverability, always keep ARCHIVELOG mode enabled when you create Storage
Checkpoints.
Prerequisites
dbed_ckptcreate stores Storage Checkpoint information under the following directory:
/etc/vx/vxdbed/$ORACLE_SID/checkpoint_dir
See the dbed_ckptcreate(1M) manual page for more information.
Usage notes
To create Storage Checkpoints while the database is online
• Use the dbed_ckptcreate command as follows:
# /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_ckptcreate -S PROD -H /oracle/product/10g -o
online
Storage Checkpoint Checkpoint_971672042 created.
To create Storage Checkpoints without updating the repository while the database is online
• Use the dbed_ckptcreate command as follows:
# /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_ckptcreate -S PROD -H /oracle/product/10g -o
online -n
Storage Checkpoint Checkpoint_971672043 created.
To create Storage Checkpoints while the database is offline
• Use the dbed_ckptcreate command as follows:
# /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_ckptcreate -S PROD -H /oracle/product/10g -o
offline
Storage Checkpoint Checkpoint_971672044 created.
The default option is online.
To create an instant Storage Checkpoints
• Ensure that the database is online and use the dbed_ckptcreate command as follows:
# /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_ckptcreate -S PROD -H /oracle/product/10g -o
instant
Storage Checkpoint Checkpoint_971672045 created.
To assign a Storage Checkpoint allocation policy to a Storage Checkpoint
• Use the dbed_ckptcreate command as follows:
# /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_ckptcreate -S PROD \ -H /oracle/product/10g -o
online -p ckpt_data,ckpt_metadata
Storage Checkpoint Checkpoint_971672044 created.
Displaying Storage Checkpoints Using dbed_ckptdisplay
You can use the dbed_ckptdisplay command to display the Storage Checkpoints associated
with an Oracle database from the command line.
You can also use it to display fileset quota values.
Before displaying Storage Checkpoints, the following conditions must be met:
