Veritas Storage Foundation™ for Oracle 5.0.1 Administrator's Guide

■ You must be logged in as the Oracle database administrator to use
dbed_vmclonedb command.
■ Before you can use the dbed_vmclonedb command, you must
create and validate a snapplan and create a snapshot.
■ The volume snapshot must contain the entire database.
■ The system administrator must provide the database administrator
with access to the necessary volumes and mount points.
■ Before you can use the dbed_vmclonedb command with the -r
relocate_path option (which specifies the initial mount point
for the snapshot image), the system administrator must create the
mount point and then change the owner to the Oracle database
administrator. This parameter is required for Oracle RAC.
■ If SNAPSHOT_MODE is set to offline or instant, a two-host
configuration is required and -r relocate_path is not allowed.
(This does not apply to Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC.)
Prerequisites
■ This command is supported by Veritas Storage Foundation for
Oracle RAC.
■ For Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC, the
dbed_vmclonedb command can be run from on the CVM master
or slave node.
■ For Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle, the dbed_vmclonedb
command can be used on the secondary host.
■ In a single-host configuration, the primary and secondary hosts
are the same. In an Oracle RAC environment, the primary and
secondary hosts are set to the CVM master node.
■ In single-host and Oracle RAC configurations, -r relocate_path
is required.
■ In a two-host configuration, the server_name=svr_name option
is required. This option is required in an Oracle RAC environment
as well.
■ 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 the dbed_vmclonedb(1M) manual page for more information.
