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

To mount the snapshot volumes

◆

Use the dbed_vmclonedb command as follows:

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -S ORACLE_SID \

-o mount,new_sid=new_sid,server_name=svr_name\

-f SNAPPLAN [-H ORACLE_HOME] \

[-r relocate_path]

You can now back up an individual file or a group of files under a directory

onto the backup media.

In this example, snapshot volumes are mounted.

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -S PROD \

-o mount,new_sid=NEWPROD,server_name=svr_name \

-f snap1 -r /clone/single

dbed_vmclonedb started at 2010-06-21 23:03:47

dbed_vmclonedb ended at 2010-06-21 23:04:23

The following is an example of creating a snapshot on the same host (host nobody):

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -S PROD \

-o mount,new_sid=NEWPROD,server_name=nobody -f snap1 \

-r /clone/single

dbed_vmclonedb started at 2010-06-21 23:03:47

dbed_vmclonedb ended at 2010-06-21 23:04:23

Note: A usage error is displayed if the server_name is not given in the above

command.

To mount a Storage Checkpoint carried over from the snapshot volumes to a

secondary host

On the secondary host, list the Storage Checkpoints carried over from the

primary database using the dbed_ckptdisplay command.

For example:

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_ckptdisplay -S ORACLE_SID -n
