To resynchronize the snapshot image

◆

Use the dbed_vmsnap command as follows:

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmsnap -S ORACLE_SID -f SNAPPLAN -o resync

In this example, the snapshot image is resynchronized with the primary

database.

$ dbed_vmsnap -S FLAS11r2 -f snap -o resync

dbed_vmsnap started at 2010-08-13 04:33:36

Snapback Volumes OK for flashdgll.

The option resync has been completed.

dbed_vmsnap ended at 2010-08-13 04:34:08

Now, you can again start creating snapshots.

space for other uses by using the vxedit rm command.
