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.

Creating a clone database with a snapshot
After having created a snapshot, you can use the snapshot to create a clone
database. The cloned database can be used for decision-making and testing that
cannot be done on your production database.
