Veritas Storage Foundation™ for Oracle 5.0.1 Administrator's Guide

■ This command is supported by Veritas Storage Foundation for
Oracle RAC.
■ In a Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC environment, the
snapplan can be created on any node within the Oracle RAC cluster;
the -o validate option can be run on the Veritas Volume
Manager CVM master or slave node.
■ In a Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle environment, the
snapplan must be created on the primary host.
■ After creating the snapplan using the dbed_vmchecksnap
command, you can use a text editor to review and update the file,
if necessary.
■ It is recommended that you create a local working directory to
store your snapplans in. This applies to Veritas Storage Foundation
for Oracle only.
■ See the dbed_vmchecksnap(1M) online manual page for more
information.
■ If the SNAPSHOT_MODE for the database is set to online, the
primary and secondary hosts can be the same. If the
SNAPSHOT_MODE is set to offline or instant, the primary and
secondary hosts must be different. This applies to Veritas Storage
Foundation for Oracle only.
