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

Database Storage Checkpoint Commands
The Storage Foundation for Databases (SFDB) tools provide a command line
interface to many key operations. The command line interface enables you to
incorporate command operations into scripts and other administrative processes.
SFDB tools commands supported are located in the /opt/VRTS/bin directory.
The online manual pages for these commands are located in the /opt/VRTS/man
directory.
Note: For a Storage Foundation product database, when you issue the commands,
replace $ORACLE_SID with $ORACLE_SID=instance_name and provide the instance
name on which the instance is running.
Table 11-1 summarizes the commands available to you from the command line.
