Overview of commands

Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle provides a command line interface (CLI)

to many key operations also supplied from within the GUI application. The

command line interface lets you incorporate command operations into scripts

and other administrative processes. These commands can be executed using the

CLI or the Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle GUI.

Note: The Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle command line interface depends

on certain tablespace, datafile, or container information (depending on your

database) that is collected and stored in the SFDB repository. Some CLI commands

update the repository by default. It is important to regularly ensure the repository

is up-to-date by using the command.

All Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle commands supported in the command

line interface are located in the /opt/VRTS/bin directory. Online manual pages

are located in the /opt/VRTS/man directory. Follow the installation instructions

provided in the Veritas Storage Foundation Installation Guide to ensure you can

use these commands and view the online manual pages.
