Mounting Storage Checkpoints using dbed_ckptmount

You can use the dbed_ckptmount command to mount a Storage Checkpoint for the database from the command line.

Before mounting Storage Checkpoints, the following conditions must be met:

 

Prerequisites 

  • You may be logged in as either the database administrator or superuser.

Usage notes 

  • 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

  • See the dbed_ckptmount(1M) manual page for more information.
