■ The dbed_vmclonedb command can be used on the secondary
host.
■ In a single-host configuration, the primary and secondary hosts
are the same.
■ In a single-host configuration, -r relocate_path is required.
■ If SNAPSHOT_MODEis set to offlineor instant, a two-host
configuration is required and -r relocate_path is not allowed.
■ See the dbed_vmclonedb(1M) manual page for more information.
Usage notes
Mounting the snapshot volumes and backing up
Before using the snapshot volumes to do a backup, you must first mount them.
To mount the snapshot volumes
◆
Use the dbed_vmclonedb command as follows:
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -S ORACLE_SID\
-o mount|mountdb|recoverdb|restartdb, new_sid=new_sid \
server_name=svr_name -f SNAPPLAN\
[-H ORACLE_HOME] \ [ -p pfile_modification_file ] [-r relocate_path]
You can now back up an individual file or a group of files under a directory onto
the backup media.
In this example, snapshot volumes are mounted.
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -S PROD \
-o mount,new_sid=NEWPROD,server_name=kagu -f snap1 -r /clone/single

dbed_vmclonedb ended at 2004-04-02 15:35:50
To mount a Storage Checkpoint carried over from the snapshot volumes to a
secondary host
1
On the secondary host, list the Storage Checkpoints carried over from the
primary database using:
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_ckptdisplay -S ORACLE_SID -n
2
You can mount one of the listed Storage Checkpoints using:
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_ckptmount -S ORACLE_SID -c CKPT_NAME \
-m MOUNT_POINT
