Veritas Storage Foundation™ 5.0.1 for Oracle RAC Installation, Configuration, and Administrator's Guide Extracts for the HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite on HP-UX 11i v3

NOTE: The SGeRAC command line interface depends on certain tablespace and container
information that is collected and stored in a repository. Some CLI commands update the repository
by default. It is also important to regularly ensure the repository is up-to-date by using the
dbed_update command.
NOTE: For SGeRAC database, when you issue the commands, replace $ORACLE_SID with
$ORACLE_SID=instance_name and provide the instance name on which the instance is
running.
Overview of Commands
SGeRAC commands supported in the command line interface are located in the /opt/VRTS/
bin directory. Online manual pages for these commands are located in the /opt/VRTS/man
directory.
Table 4-3 summarizes the commands available to you from the command line.
