Validating or modifying a snapplan

Before creating a snapshot, it is necessary to validate your snapplan to make sure

the information is correct and that the snapshot will succeed. Occasionally, you

may also need to modify a snapplan. For example, you would need to modify your

snapplan if you wanted to change the primary disk group that is included in the

snapshot.

■ You must be logged in as the Oracle database administrator.

■ A DCO log must be attached to the snapshot plex.

Prerequisites

■ Each entry in the snapplan is a line in parameter=argument

format.

Usage notes

To validate or modify a snapplan

Click a specific snapplan in the object tree. (You may need to expand the tree

view to find the icon.)

Access the Validate/Modify Snapplan wizard.

See “Accessing FlashSnap tasks in the Java GUI” on page 25.

In the Modify/Validate Snapplan wizard, correct the path and file name of

the snapplan in the Snapplan file field. Then, click Next to continue.

If you are modifying your snapplan, enter any new parameters that should

be updated. You are not required to do anything if no changes are required.

For more information regarding the snapplan parameters:
