Figure 5-3 Prerequisites for Creating a Snapshot of Your Database
There are many actions you can take after creating a snapshot of your database using Database
FlashSnap. You can create a clone of the database for backup and off-host processing purposes.
You can resynchronize the snapshot volumes with the primary database. In the event of primary
database failure, you can recover it by reverse resynchronizing the snapshot volumes.
