Creating or updating the repository using dbed_update

You can use the dbed_update command to create or update the repository.

Any time you change the structure of the database (for example, by adding or deleting datafiles, converting PFILE to SPFILE, or converting SPFILE to PFILE), you must run dbed_update.

Before creating or updating the repository, the following conditions must be met:

Prerequisites

You must be logged on as the database administrator (typically, the user ID oracle).

Usage notes

The dbed_update command creates a repository in the /etc/vx/vxdbed/$ORACLE_SID directory where information used by SF Oracle RAC is kept. If the repository already exists, the command will refresh the information.
The database must be up and running, and the ORACLE_SID and the ORACLE_HOME variable arguments must be specified with the -S and -H options, respectively.
See the dbed_update(1M) manual page for more information.

To update the repository

Use the dbed_update command as follows:
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_update -S PROD -H /oracle/product/9i

To view the status of the repository

Use the dbed_update command with the -n option as follows:
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_update -S PROD -H /oracle/product/9i -n

Repository is up to date.
