To clone the database automatically

• Use the dbed_vmclonedb command as follows:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -S ORACLE_SID -g snap_dg -o

recoverdb,new_sid=new_sid[,vxdbavol=vol_name] -f SNAPPLAN [-H

ORACLE_HOME] [-r relocate_path]

Where:

Table 5-10 dbed_vmclonedb command options

Represents the name of the Oracle database used to create the snapshot.

ORACLE_SID

Represents the name of the diskgroup that contains all the snapshot volumes.

snap_dg

Specifies the ORACLE_SID for the clone database.

new_sid

Represents the volume that contains the snapplan data. This name is provided after

you run dbed_vmsnap -o snapshot.

vxdbavol

Represents the name of the snapplan file.

SNAPPLAN

Represents the ORACLE_HOME setting for the ORACLE_SID database.

ORACLE_HOME

Represents the name of the initial mount point for the snapshot image.

relocate_path

NOTE: When cloning a database on a secondary host, ensure that PRIMARY_HOST and

SECONDARY_HOST parameters in the snapplan file are different.

When the -o recoverdb option is used with dbed_vmclonedb, the clone database is recovered

automatically using all available archive logs. If the -o recoverdb option is not used, you can

perform point-in-time recovery manually.

• In the following example, a clone of the primary database is automatically created on the

same host as the primary database.

# /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -S PROD -g SNAP_PRODdg -o

recoverdb,new_sid=NEWPROD -f snap1 -r /clone
