Veritas Storage Foundation™ for Oracle 5.0.1 Graphical User Interface Guide

If you create a clone database using an existing snapplan, you use a portion of the
Create Clone Database wizard depending on the status of the snapplan you select:
■ SNAPSHOT_END status: picks up at Create Snapshot point in the process. This
status uses the default snapplan settings.
■ INIT_FULL status: picks up at Validate/Modify Snapplan. This status enables
selection of forced snapshot creation, authentication settings, and primary
database settings.
■ INIT_DB status: picks up at Create Snapplan. This status enables the review
and selection of all settings.
