SNAPSHOT_ARCHIVE_LOG yes or no
Specifies whether to create a snapshot of the archive log volumes.
Specify yes to split the archive log volume mirrors and deport
them to the secondary host. When using the Oracle remote archive
log destination feature to send the archive logs to the secondary
host, you can specify no to save some space.
Because the archive logs may not always be delivered to the
secondary host reliably, it is recommended that you specify yes.
SNAPSHOT_MODE online or offline
Specifies whether the database should be online or offline when the
snapshot is created.
If the snapshot is created while the database is online, the
dbed_vmsnap command will put the tablespaces into backup
mode. After dbed_vmsnap finishes creating the snapshot, it will
take the tablespaces out of backup mode, switch the log files to
ensure that the extra redo logs are archived, and create a snapshot of
the archived logs.
If the database if offline, it is not necessary to put the tablespaces
into backup mode.
SNAPSHOT_PLAN_FOR database or tablespaces or tables
Specifies the database object for which you want to create a
snapshot. You can create a snapshot of the database, a list of the
tablespaces, or a list of tables.
TABLESPACES Specifies the list of tablespaces for which to create a snapshot.
When you specify tablespaces for the
SNAPSHOT_PLAN_FOR parameter, list the tablespaces here. Use a
space to separate multiple tablespace names.
TABLES Specifies the list of tables for which to create a snapshot. When you
specify tables for the SNAPSHOT_PLAN_FOR parameter, list
the tables here. Use a space to separate multiple table names
SNAPSHOT_ORACLE_HOME yes or no
Specifies whether to create a snapshot for the Oracle installation.
You should specify no for this parameter if a compatible Oracle
release is already installed on the secondary host. If not, specify
yes to create a clone database on the secondary host.
SNAPSHOT_VOL_PREFIX Specifies the snapshot volume prefix. Use this variable to specify a
prefix for the snapshot volumes split from the primary disk group.
A volume name cannot be more than 32 characters.
