See “Database FlashSnap in the GUI”
on page 61.
If you plan to create volume snapshots for
the database and use them on either the
same host or a secondary one, ensure that
your volume layout is consistent with
Database FlashSnap requirements.
See “Setting up databases” in theCreate the VxFS file systems you need on the

See “Viewing Storage Mapping” on page 97.If you would like the ability to view detailed
storage stack topology information to ensure
your storage stack configuration is optimized
for the database, configure and use Storage

and VxFS, make sure Veritas Storage

your existing database configuration.
See “Creating a Storage Checkpoint”
on page 52.
For backup and recovery on the same host,
you can use the Storage Checkpoint facility
to create file system snapshots of the
database. A Storage Checkpoint creates an
exact image of a database instantly and
provides a consistent image of the database
from the point in time the Storage
Checkpoint was created.
See “Database FlashSnap in the GUI”
on page 61.
For off-host processing or backup, you can
use the Database FlashSnap feature to create
a volume snapshot for the database.
Database FlashSnap lets you capture an
online image of an actively changing
database at a given instant, known as a
snapshot. You can perform backups and
off-host processing tasks on snapshots while
providing continuous availability of your
critical data.
