Before using the snapshot volumes to do a backup, you must first mount them.
dbed_vmclonedb
command as follows:
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -S
ORACLE_SID
-g
snap_dg
\
-o mount,new_sid=
new_sid
,server_name=
server_name
\
-f
SNAPPLAN
[-H
ORACLE_HOME
] [-r
relocate_path
]
You can now back up an individual file or a group of files under a directory onto the backup media.
In this example, snapshot volumes are mounted.
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmclonedb -S PROD -g SNAP_PRODdg \
-o mount,new_SID=NEWPROD,server_name=
host1 \
dbed_vmclonedb started at 2006-03-02 15:35:41
Mounting /clone/single/prod_db on /dev/vx/dsk/SNAP_PRODdg/ SNAP_prod_db. Mounting /clone/single/prod_ar on /dev/vx/dsk/SNAP_PRODdg/ SNAP_prod_ar.
To mount a Storage Checkpoint carried over from the snapshot volumes to a secondary host
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_ckptmount -S
ORACLE_SID
-c
CKPT_NAME
\
Note the following limitations:
dbed_vmclonedb
command with the -o mount
option without the use of -r
relocate_path
.
dbed_vmclonedb
with the -o mount
option. After a clone database is created using dbed_vmclonedb
with the -o recoverdb
option, however, Storage Checkpoints are no longer present.
