To create a Storage Checkpoint allocation policy

◆

Use the dbed_ckptpolicy command as follows:

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_ckptpolicy -S ORACLE_SID \

-o create -p ckpt_policy

Note: A partial policy indicates that the Storage Checkpoint allocation policy

does not include all the file systems used by the database.

This example shows how to create a Storage Checkpoint allocation policy

with the name ckpt_sample database for a database named PROD:

$ dbed_ckptpolicy -S PROD -o create -p ckpt_sample

Output similar to the following is displayed.

File System: /mvsfs/v2 (MVS volumes: mvsv4,mvsv5)

Assigned Data Policy: (MVS Volumes: )

Assigned Meta Data Policy: (MVS Volumes: )

Please enter the volume name(s), separated by space, for the

policy ckpt_sample [skip,quit]: mvsv4

The following information will be used to create policy ckpt_sample

ckpt_sample /mvsfs/v2 mvsv4

Assigning a Storage Checkpoint allocation policy

You can use either of the following methods to assign an allocation policy to a

Storage Checkpoint:

■ Use the dbed_ckptpolicy command to assign allocation policies to an existing

Storage Checkpoint.

■ Use the -p ckpt_data_policy[,ckpt_metadata_policy] option to the

dbed_ckptcreate command to supply policies when executed. The command

automatically assigns the policies when the Storage Checkpoint is created.

Note: You must run the dbed_update command once before creating the

checkpoint.
