Volume oracon on PRODdg is ready for snapshot.
Original plex and DCO log for oracon is on PRODdg02.
Snapshot plex and DCO log for oracon is on PRODdg01.
SNAP_PRODdg for snapshot will include: PRODdg01
ALLOW_REVERSE_RESYNC is yes
The snapplan sp3 has been created.
6. In the Create Snapshot dialog, verify the snapplan location. (This is a read-only field.)
7. If you need to force the snapshot creation, click the Force snapshot creation checkbox.
Note Force snapshot creation can be used after a snapshot operation has failed and the problem
was fixed without using VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle commands. (That is, the
volumes were synchronized without using VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle
commands.) In this situation, the status of the snapplan will appear as unavailable for
creating a snapshot. The Force snapshot creation option ignores the unavailable status,
checks for the availability of volumes, and creates the snapshot after the volumes pass the
availability check.
8. Click Next to continue.
9. If the snapshot creation was successful, you will receive a confirmation message.
10. Click the Show details checkbox to view the actions taken. The following example is a sample
of the snapplan details that you should see:

The database is running in archivelog mode.
A snapshot of ORACLE_SID PROD is in DG SNAP_PRODdg.
Snapplan sp2 is used for the snapshot.

If -r <relocate_path> is used in dbed_vmclonedb,
make sure <relocate_path> is created and owned by
Oracle DBA. Otherwise, the following mount points
need to be created and owned by Oracle DBA:
/prod_db.
/oracon.
