To create a clone of the primary database on the same host as the primary database, use the
dbed_vmclonedb command as follows:
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -S PROD -g SNAP_PRODdg \
-o recoverdb,new_SID=NEWPROD -f snap1 -r /clone
dbed_vmclonedb started at 2004-04-02 14:42:10
Mounting /clone/prod_db on

-r relocate_path Specifies the initial mount point for the snapshot
image.
If you are creating a clone in a single-host
configuration, -r is required. Otherwise, it is an
optional argument.
If -r relocate_path is used when cloning a
database, it will also be required for running -o
update_status and -o umount.
Note Do not use -r relocate_path if the
SNAPSHOT_MODE parameter is set to instant
or offline.
