Displaying Storage Checkpoints using dbed_ckptdisplay
You can use the dbed_ckptdisplay command to display the Storage Checkpoints
associated with an Oracle database from the command line.
You can also use it to display fileset quota values.
Before displaying Storage Checkpoints, the following conditions must be met:
■ You must be logged on as the database administrator.Prerequisites
■ In addition to displaying the Storage Checkpoints created by SF
Enterprise products, dbed_ckptdisplay also displays other
Storage Checkpoints (for example, Storage Checkpoints created
by the Capacity Planning Utility and NetBackup).
■ The Status field identifies if the Storage Checkpoint is partial (P),
complete (C), invalid (I), mounted (M), read only (R), writable (W),
or of type online (ON), offline (OF), instant (IN), or unknown (UN).
Note that instant (IN) Storage Checkpoints are not supported in
an SF Oracle RAC environment.
■ Database FlashSnap commands are integrated with Storage
Checkpoint functionality. It is possible to display and mount
Storage Checkpoints carried over with snapshot volumes to a
secondary host. However limitations apply.
See “Mounting Storage Checkpoints using dbed_ckptmount”
on page 218.
■ See the dbed_ckptdisplay(1M) manual page for more
information.
