1. Change directories to the working directory you want to store your snapplan in.

# cd /working_directory

2. Create a snapplan with default values using the dbed_vmchecksnap command:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmchecksnap -S ORACLE_SID -H ORACLE_HOME -f

SNAPPLAN -o setdefaults -t host_name [-p PLEX_TAG]

3. Open the snapplan file in a text editor and modify it as needed.

• In this example, a snapplan, snap1, is created for a snapshot image in a single-host

configuration and default values are set. The host is named host1 and the working

directory is /export/snap_dir.

# cd /export/snap_dir

# /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmchecksnap -S PROD -H /oracle/product/10g

-f snap1 -o setdefaults -t host1

Snapplan snap1 for PROD.

• In this other example, a snapplan, snap2, is created for a snapshot image in a two-host

configuration, and default values are set. The primary host is host1, the secondary

host is host2, and the working directory is /export/snap_dir.

# cd /export/snap_dir$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmchecksnap -S PROD -H

/oracle /product /10g -f snap2 -o setdefaults -t host2
