Displaying, Copying, and Removing a Snapplan (dbed_vmchecksnap)

Consider these notes before listing all snapplans for a specific Oracle database, displaying a

snapplan file, or copying and removing snapplans.

Table 5-6 Check Snapplan Notes

• If the local snapplan is updated or modified, you must revalidate it.

• If the database schema or disk group is modified, you must revalidate it after running

dbed_update.

Usage Notes

Displaying a Snapplan

You can use the dbed_vmchecksnap command to list all available snapplans, and then use the

dbed_vmchecksnap command to display detailed information for a particular snapplan.

To list all available snapplans for a specific Oracle database

• Use the dbed_vmchecksnap command as follows:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmchecksnap -S ORACLE_SID -o list

In the following example, all available snapplans are listed for the database PROD.

# /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmchecksnap -S PROD -o list

The following snapplan(s) are available for PROD:

SNAP_PLAN SNAP_STATUS

DB_STATUS SNAP_READY

snap1 init_full

init yes

snap2 init_full

init yes

NOTE: The command output displays all available snapplans, their snapshot status

(SNAP_STATUS), database status (DB_STATUS), and whether a snapshot may be taken

(SNAP_READY).

For Database FlashSnap status information, see the Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle

Administrator’s Guide.

To display detailed information for a snapplan

• Use the dbed_vmchecksnap command as follows:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmchecksnap -S ORACLE_SID -f SNAPPLAN -o list

In the following example, the snapplan snap1 is displayed.

# /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmchecksnap -S PROD -f snap1 -o list
