COMMAND
vcdba_remove
SYNOPSIS
vcdba_remove -s <oracle_sid> -p <primary_host> -t <timestamp> [-v]
DESCRIPTION
Removes a virtual copy.
The
vcdba_remove command removes a virtual copy created by the vcdba_create
command. The virtual copy must have
Available status in order to be removed. The status of
the virtual copy can be retrieved using the vcdba_display command.
If the specified virtual copy has been backed up, the actual database virtual copy is removed,
but its repository remains for database restoration purposes. To remove the virtual copy's
repository, use the
vcdba_rmrep command. If the virtual copy's repository is removed,
Recovery Manager will not be able to perform a database restore operation even if the virtual
copy has been backed up.
You must run this command as a super user from the backup host. To allow the Oracle
Database Administrator (Oracle Owner) to run this command, an identical Oracle Database
Administrator user must exist on backup host. In addition, permission on the 3PAR Recovery
Manager Installation and Repository directories must be changed appropriately.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
■ -s <oracle_sid> - The instance SID of the primary database. For an RAC database, any
instance SID can be specified.
■ -p <primary_host> - The corresponding host name of the primary host where the
specified Oracle database instance is running. The value of the primary host name must
match the output of the
hostname command.
■ -t <timestamp> - The timestamp of a virtual copy. It is also the name of the virtual copy.
The virtual copy name can be obtained using the
vcdba_display command.
■ -v - Runs the command in verbose mode to display useful messages.
