Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1: Storage and Availability Management for Oracle (5900-1504, April 2011)

Creating a snapplan (dbed_vmchecksnap)
The dbed_vmchecksnap command creates a snapplan that dbed_vmsnap uses to
create a snapshot of an Oracle database.
The snapplan specifies snapshot scenarios: online, offline, or instant.
You can name a snapplan file whatever you choose. Each entry in the snapplan
file is a line in parameter=argument format.
Table 10-2 describes the parameters that can be set when using the
dbed_vmchecksnap command to create or validate a snapplan.
