cluster
1
Mount the file systems.

Create a clone using the dbed_vmclonedb command.
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -S PROD -g SNAP_PRODdg \
-o mountdb,new_sid=NEWPROD -f snap1,server_name=orasvr -r /clone
dbed_vmclonedb started at 2003-04-02 15:34:41
Mounting /clone/prod_db on
/dev/vx/dsk/SNAP_PRODdg/SNAP_prod_db.
Mounting /clone/prod_ar on
/dev/vx/dsk/SNAP_PRODdg/SNAP_prod_ar.
All redo-log files found.
Database NEWPROD (SID=NEWPROD) is in recovery mode.
If the database NEWPROD is recovered manually, you must run
