VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle

Command Line Interface

VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle provides a command line interface (CLI) to many key

operations also supplied from within the VxDBA utility menus and VERITAS Storage Foundation

GUI application. The command line interface lets you incorporate command operations into scripts

and other administrative processes.

VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle also provides commands specific to the Database

FlashSnap feature. These commands can be executed using the CLI or the VERITAS Storage

Foundation for Oracle GUI. At this time, there are no VxDBA menu equivalents for Database

FlashSnap operations.

Note The VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle command line interface depends on certain

tablespace and datafile information that is collected and stored in VxDBA’s repository. Some

CLI commands update the repository by default. It is also important to regularly ensure the

VxDBA repository is up-to-date by using Display/Update Tablespace Information from

either the Database Administration or Display Database/VxDBA Information VxDBA

submenus, the update repository option from the GUI (right click on the database and select

Update Repository), or the dbed_update command.
