In this example, file systems are mounted without recovering the clone database.
The clone database must be manually recovered before it can be used. This example
is for a clone created on a secondary host.
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -S PROD -g SNAP_PRODdg \
-o mountdb,new_sid=NEWPROD,server_name=orasvr -f snap2
dbed_vmclonedb started at 2004-04-09 23:26:50
Mounting /clone/arch on /dev/vx/dsk/SNAP_PRODdg/SNAP_arch.
Mounting /clone/prod_db on /dev/vx/dsk/SNAP_PRODdg/SNAP_prod_db.
All redo-log files found.
Database NEWPROD (SID=NEWPROD) is in recovery mode.
If the database NEWPROD is recovered manually, you must run
dbed_vmclonedb -o update_status to change the snapshot status.

The database is recovered manually.
The snapshot status (database_recovered) is updated for a clone database on a
secondary host after manual recovery has been completed.
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb \
-o update_status,new_sid=NEWPROD,server_name=orasvr -f snap2
dbed_vmclonedb started at 2004-04-09 23:34:01
The snapshot status has been updated.
dbed_vmclonedb ended at 2004-04-09 23:34:35
To clone the database automatically
Use the dbed_vmclonedb command as follows:
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -S ORACLE_SID -g snap_dg \
-o recoverdb,new_sid=new_sid,server_name=svr_name -f SNAPPLAN \
[-H ORACLE_HOME] [-r relocate_path]
Where:
ORACLE_SID is the name of the Oracle database used to create the
snapshot.
snap_dg is the name of the diskgroup that contains all the snapshot
volumes.
new_sid specifies the ORACLE_SID for the clone database.
server_name=svr_name specifies the server on which the primary database
resides.
