Veritas Storage Foundation™ for Oracle 5.0.1 Administrator's Guide

Displaying Storage Checkpoints using dbed_ckptdisplay
You can use the dbed_ckptdisplay command to display the Storage Checkpoints
associated with an Oracle database from the command line.
You can also use it to display fileset quota values.
Before displaying Storage Checkpoints, the following conditions must be met:
■ You may be logged in as either the database administrator or root.
If you execute the command as root, use the -n option.
Prerequisites
■ This command is supported by Veritas Storage Foundation for
Oracle RAC.
■ In addition to displaying the Storage Checkpoints created by Veritas
Storage Foundation for Oracle, dbed_ckptdisplay also displays
other Storage Checkpoints (for example, Storage Checkpoints
created by the Capacity Planning Utility and NetBackup).
■ The Status field identifies if the Storage Checkpoint is partial (P),
complete (C), invalid (I), mounted (M), read-only (R), writable (W),
or of type online (ON), offline (OF), instant (IN), or unknown (UN).
■ In a Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle environment, Database
FlashSnap commands are integrated with Storage Checkpoint
functionality. It is possible to display and mount Storage
Checkpoints carried over with snapshot volumes to a secondary
host. However limitations apply.
See “Mounting the snapshot volumes and backing up” on page 277.
■ See the dbed_ckptdisplay(1M) manual page for more
information.
