# Refresh the snapshots of the volumes.

# Note: If the volume is not mounted, you can safely ignore the

# following message that is output by the snapshot operation:

# vxvm:vxsync: ERROR: Volume dbase_vol: No entry in /etc/mnttab for volume

vxsnap -g $dbasedg refresh $volsnaplist

# Take the Oracle database out of hot-backup mode;

# see the backup_end.sh script for information.

su oracle -c backup_end.sh

# Move the snapshot volumes into a separate disk group.

vxdg split $dbasedg $snapdg $vollist

# Deport the snapshot disk group.

vxdg deport $snapdg

# Copy the archive logs that were generated while the database was

# in hot backup mode (as reported by the Oracle Server Manager) to the

# archive log location for the replica database on the OHP node

# (in this example, /rep/archlog).

rcp ${arch_loc}/* $dbnode:${rep_mnt_point}${arch_loc}

# The snapshots of the database can be now imported on the OHP node

# and used to complete, recover and start the replica database.

# Note: Replace “rsh” with “remsh” on HP-UX systems.
