Mounting the snapshot volumes and backing up

Before using the snapshot volumes to do a backup, you must first mount them.

To mount the snapshot volumes

Use the db2ed_vmclonedb command as follows:

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/db2ed_vmclonedb -D DB2DATABASE -g snap_dg \
-o mount,new_db=new_db,server_name=svr_name [-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/db2ed_vmclonedb -D PROD -g SNAP_PRODdg \
-o mount,new_db=NEWPROD,server_name=kagu -f snap1 -r /clone

Mounting /clone/PROD_HOME on /dev/vx/dsk/SNAP_PRODdg/SNAP_prodvol1.
Mounting /clone/PROD_TBS on /dev/vx/dsk/SNAP_PRODdg/SNAP_prodvol2.

If the database NEWPROD is recovered manually, you must run
db2ed_vmclonedb -o update_status to change the snapshot status.
