Displaying, copying, and removing a snapplan (dbed_vmchecksnap)

Consider these notes before listing all snapplans for a specific Oracle database, displaying a snapplan file, or copying and removing snapplans.

Usage notes

If the local snapplan is updated or modified, you must re-validate it.
If the database schema or disk group is modified, you must revalidate it after running dbed_update.

To list all available snapplans for a specific Oracle database

Use the dbed_vmchecksnap command as follows:

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmchecksnap -S ORACLE_SID -o list

In the following example, all available snapplans are listed for the database PROD.

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmchecksnap -S PROD -o list
	The following snapplan(s) are available for PROD:

	SNAP_PLAN 				SNAP_STATUS 					DB_STATUS					SNAP_READY
	    snap1							init_full						 	      -					yes
	    snap2							init_full						      	 -					yes

Note:

The command output displays all available snapplans, their snapshot status (SNAP_STATUS), database status (DB_STATUS), and whether a snapshot may be taken (SNAP_READY).

See Database FlashSnap snapshot status and database status.

To display detailed information for a snapplan

Use the dbed_vmchecksnap command as follows:

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmchecksnap -S ORACLE_SID \
	 -f SNAPPLAN -o list

In the following example, the snapplan snap1 is displayed.

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmchecksnap -S PROD -f snap1 -o list
SNAPSHOT_VERSION=4.0
PRIMARY_HOST=host1
SECONDARY_HOST=host1
PRIMARY_DG=PRODdg
SNAPSHOT_DG=SNAP_PRODdg
ORACLE_SID=PROD
ARCHIVELOG_DEST=/prod_ar
SNAPSHOT_ARCHIVE_LOG=yes
SNAPSHOT_MODE=online
SNAPSHOT_PLAN_FOR=database
SNAPSHOT_PLEX_TAG=dbed_flashsnap
SNAPSHOT_VOL_PREFIX=SNAP_

To copy a snapplan from the repository to your current directory

If you want to create a snapplan similar to an existing snapplan, you can simply create a copy of the existing snapplan and modify it. To copy a snapplan from the repository to your current directory, the snapplan must not already be present in the current directory.

Use the dbed_vmchecksnap command as follows:
```
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmchecksnap -S ORACLE_SID \
	-f SNAPPLAN -o copy
```
This example shows the snapplan, snap1, being copied from the repository to the current directory.
```
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmchecksnap -S PROD -f snap1 -o copy
Copying 'snap1' to '/export/snap_dir'
```

To remove a snapplan from the repository

A snapplan can be removed from a local directory or the repository if the snapplan is no longer needed.

Use the dbed_vmchecksnap command as follows:
```
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmchecksnap -S ORACLE_SID -f SNAPPLAN \
 -o remove
```
This example shows the snapplan, snap1, being removed from the repository.
```
$ /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_vmchecksnap -S PROD -f snap1 -o remove
The snapplan snap1 has been removed.
```
