Creating and Working with Snapplans Using dbed_vmchecksnap
A snapplan specifies snapshot scenarios for an Oracle database (such as online, instant, or
offline). You can name a snapplan file whatever you choose. You can use the
dbed_vmchecksnap -o setdefaults option to create the snapplan and set default values
for the parameters. You may then modify the snapplan file using a text editor.
You can also use the command to validate, copy, list, or remove a snapplan and check the storage to
make sure it is configured appropriately for the Database FlashSnap feature. For more information
on snapplans, see “Validating a Snapplan (dbed_vmchecksnap)” on page 229.
Note You must have the Enterprise Edition of VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle to use
this command.
