Saving the Oracle Configuration Environment Using
dbed_saveconfig
You can use the VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle dbed_saveconfig command to save
configuration information on Oracle, VERITAS products, and system hardware from the command
line.
Prerequisites
◆ You must be logged on as the database administrator (typically, the user ID oracle).
Usage Notes
◆ The dbed_saveconfig command is used to collect and record configuration information
on Oracle, VERITAS products, and system hardware. Information is gathered in the context of
a specified Oracle database. The utility attempts to gather enough information to allow an
administrator to reconstruct a system and database from scratch, in the case of a complete
system failure.
Information collected is in the form of many system configuration files and the results of
querying the system hardware, VERITAS products, and Oracle. The location where
configuration information has been saved is displayed as output from the
dbed_saveconfig command. Alternatively, you can use the -l option to designate this
location.
◆ See the dbed_saveconfig(1M) manual page for more information.
