(dbed_vmchecksnap)
This section explains how to list all snapplans for a specific Oracle database, display a snapplan
file, and copy and remove snapplans.
Usage Notes
◆ If the local snapplan is updated or modified, you must re-validate it.
◆ If the database schema or disk group is modified, you must revalidate.
▼ To list all available snapplans for a specific Oracle database
Use the dbed_vmchecksnap command as follows:
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmchecksnap -S ORACLE_SID -o list
Example

snap1 init_full init yes
snap2 init_full init yes
Note The command output displays all available snapplans, their snapshot status
(SNAP_STATUS), database status (DB_STATUS), and whether a snapshot may be taken
(SNAP_READY). For explanations of the various statuses that may appear for
SNAP_STATUS and DB_STATUS, refer to “VERITAS Database FlashSnap Status
