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

■ As root, you must run
/opt/VRTSdbed/common/bin/sfua_db_config before creating
the repository. It will set the owner and group of various directories
needed for SFDB funtionality.
■ You must be logged on as the database administrator (typically,
the user ID oracle).
Prerequisites
■ The dbed_update command creates a repository in the
/etc/vx/vxdba/$ORACLE_SID directory where information used
by SF Enterprise products is kept. If the repository already exists,
the command will refresh the information.
■ The database must be up and running, and the ORACLE_SID and
the ORACLE_HOME variable arguments must be specified with
the -S and -H options, respectively.
■ See the dbed_update(1M) manual page for more information.
Usage notes

◆
Use the dbed_update command as follows:
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_update -S PROD -H /oracle/product/ORA_HOME
To view the status of the repository
◆
Use the dbed_update command. Command usage is as follows:

Creating Storage Checkpoints using dbed_ckptcreate
You can use the dbed_ckptcreate command to create a Storage Checkpoint for
an Oracle database from the command line.
Storage Checkpoints can be online, offline, or instant. By default, Storage
Checkpoints are offline. If online is specified, the database is put into hot-backup
mode when the Storage Checkpoint is created. If offline is specified, the database
is expected to be down.
If instant is specified, the database must be online and a Storage Checkpoint will
be taken for a "crash recovery"-type Storage Rollback.
Note: For Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC, instant and offline checkpoints are
not supported.
Before creating a Storage Checkpoint, the following conditions must be met:
