288 VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle Administrator’s Guide

Removing a Clone Database

In releases prior to 4.1, for removing a cloned database you were required to go through separate

menus to shut down and unmount clone databases. VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle 4.1,

provides the Remove Clone Database wizard, that can be accessed from the database instance node.

The Remove Clone Database wizard helps in shutting down and unmounting the clone database. It

also removes the Storage Checkpoint or resynchronizes the snapshot, if needed.

Removing a VM FlashSnap Clone Database

Removing a VM FlashSnap clone database unmounts the FlashSnap database. If needed, it also

resynchronizes the snapshot.

Caution Make sure that the VEA service is running on the secondary host. Also, make sure that

the database owner of the secondary host is registered on the VEA Service Console

Registry. See “Adding Users to the VERITAS Enterprise Administrator Service

Console Registry” on page 271 and “Starting the VERITAS Enterprise Administrator

Service” on page 273 for further details.

1. In the object tree, click a clone database that was created using VM FlashSnap. You may need

to expand the object tree to find the clone database.

From the menu bar, click Oracle > Remove Clone Database.

Right click the clone database object to bring up a pop-up menu. Then, click Remove Clone
