Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle 5.0 Graphical User Interface Guide, HP-UX 11i v3, First Edition, May 2008

■ See the dbed_vmsnap(1M) manual page for more information.
■ If you are creating an offhost snapshot, perform these steps on
the secondary host.
Usage notes
To create a snapshot
1
Access the Create Snapshot wizard.
See “Accessing FlashSnap tasks in the Java GUI” on page 28.
See “Accessing database tasks in the Web GUI” on page 35.
2
Verify the snapplan location. (This is a read-only field.)
3
If you need to force the snapshot creation, click the Force snapshot creation
checkbox.
Force snapshot creation can be used after a snapshot operation has failed
and the problem was fixed without using Veritas Storage Foundation for
Oracle commands. (That is, the volumes were synchronized without using
Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle commands.)
In this situation, the status of the snapplan will appear as unavailable for
creating a snapshot. The Force snapshot creation option ignores the
unavailable status, checks for the availability of volumes, and creates the
snapshot after the volumes pass the availability check.
4
Click Finish to continue.
