Using FlashSnap for Backup and Recovery

Cloning a Database (dbed_vmclonedb)

Chapter 5

111

NOTE When cloning a database on a secondary host, ensure that PRIMARY_HOST and

SECONDARY_HOST parameters in the snapplan file are different.

When the -o recoverdb option is used with dbed_vmclonedb, the clone database is

recovered automatically using all available archive logs. If the -o recoverdb option is

not used, you can perform point-in-time recovery manually.

• In the following example, a clone of the primary database is automatically created on

the same host as the primary database.

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -S PROD -g SNAP_PRODdg \

-o recoverdb,new_sid=NEWPROD -f snap1 -r /clone
