Starting the Storage Checkpoint Capacity Planning Utility
The Storage Checkpoint Capacity Planning utility operations can be run by the Oracle Database
Administrator (typically, the user ID oracle) of the database instance.
Prerequisites
You must have the appropriate permissions to run the VxDBA utility. The VxDBA utility
requires permission changes to allow database administrators to access it. If you did not make
these permission changes when prompted during installation, you can grant administrators
access to the VxDBA utility now. See “Starting VxDBA” on page 334.
Usage Notes
You can only use the Storage Checkpoint Capacity Planning utility in an environment that
contains no Storage Checkpoints created by other tools or products, including:
VxDBA utility
Command line interface using the dbed_ckptcreate command
VERITAS NetBackup
Each time cron attempts to create a Storage Checkpoint at the time designated in the schedule
you create, the Storage Checkpoint Capacity Planning utility checks for the presence of
Storage Checkpoints created by other tools or products and fails if it detects any of these other
Storage Checkpoints.
To start the Storage Checkpoint Capacity Planning utility
1. At the administrative prompt, enter:
$ /opt/VRTSdbed/bin/vxdba
