Example
In the following example, a clone of the primary database is automatically created on a secondary
host.
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -S PROD -g SNAP_PRODdg \
-o recoverdb,new_sid=NEWPROD,vxdbavol=SNAP_arch -f snap2

Mounting /clone/arch on /dev/vx/dsk/SNAP_PRODdg/SNAP_arch.
Mounting /clone/prod_db on /dev/vx/dsk/SNAP_PRODdg/SNAP_prod_db.

Shutting Down the Clone Database and Unmounting File Systems
When you are done using the clone database, you can shut it down and unmount all snapshot file
systems with the dbed_vmclonedb -o umount command. If the clone database is used on a
secondary host that has shared disks with the primary host, the -o umount option also deports the
snapshot disk group.
Note Any mounted Storage Checkpoints mounted need to be unmounted before running
dbed_vmclonedb -o umount.
▼ To shut down the clone database and unmount all snapshot file systems
Use the dbed_vmclonedb command as follows:
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -o umount,new_sid=new_sid \
-f SNAPPLAN [-r relocate_path]
Example
In this example, the clone database is shut down and file systems are unmounted for a clone on the
same host as the primary database (a single-host configuration).
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -o umount,new_sid=NEWPROD \
-f snap1 -r /clone
