Foundation for Oracle RAC, this feature is not supported.
■ Create a new crontab file or edit an existing crontab file to
include a Storage Checkpoint creation entry with the following
space-delimited fields:
minute hour day_of_month month_of_year day_of_week\
/opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_ckptcreate
where:
minute - numeric values from 0-59 or *
hour - numeric values from 0-23 or *
day_of_month - numeric values from 1-31 or *
month_of_year - numeric values from 1-12 or *
day_of_week- numeric values from 0-6, with 0=Sunday or *
Each of these variables can either be an asterisk (meaning all legal

either a number or two numbers separated by a hyphen (meaning
an inclusive range).
