Veritas Storage Foundation™ for Oracle 5.0.1 Administrator's Guide

■ This command is supported by Veritas Storage Foundation for
Oracle RAC.
■ The dbed_ckptmount command is used to mount a Storage
Checkpoint into the file system namespace. Mounted Storage
Checkpoints appear as any other file system on the machine and
can be accessed using all normal file system based commands.
■ Storage Checkpoints can be mounted as read-only or read-write.
By default, Storage Checkpoints are mounted as read-only.
■ If the rw (read-write) option is used, _wrxxx, where xxx is an
integer, will be appended to the Storage Checkpoint name.
■ If the specified mount point directory does not exist, then
dbed_ckptmount creates it before mounting the Storage
Checkpoint, as long as the Oracle database owner has permission
to create it.
■ 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_ckptmount(1M) manual page for more information.
