To create a clone database using a Storage Checkpoint

1. Access the Create Clone Database wizard and select Storage Checkpoint as the method for creating a clone.

   See Accessing clone database tasks in the Java GUI.

   See Accessing database tasks in the Web GUI.

2. In the object tree, click a specific Storage Checkpoint in the Storage Checkpoints folder. You may need to expand the tree view to find the Storage Checkpoint.

3. Select one of the following methods to create a clone database:

   • Click a Storage Checkpoint and click Create Clone Database in the menu bar.

   • Right click the Storage Checkpoint object to bring up a pop-up menu. Then, click Create Clone Database .

     The Create Clone Database wizard is displayed. Click Next.

4. The Create Clone Database screen displays with read-only information about the current database. Review and click Next.

5. The New Database Information dialog is displayed. Enter the target information. This information is the basis for your duplicated database. You need to enter or select the following:

   • Instance name

   • Password

   • Database name

   • Mount point

   • Redo log directory (Optional. If you do not specify any options, minimum recovery will be performed.)

   Check Restart Database if you want to restart a Storage Checkpoint Clone Database that is already created. Otherwise, you are creating a new Storage Checkpoint Clone Database.

   The mount point in the target information is not required for restarting a Storage Checkpoint Clone Database.

6. Enter the source information. This is the information from your original database, which is the one that the Storage Checkpoint represents. You need to enter or verify the following:

   • Instance name (This field is read-only.)

   • Database name (This field is read-only.)

   • Database log directory (By default, this field is populated. Modify it only if the information is incorrect.)

7. Click Create Clone Database.

   If the database was successfully cloned, you will receive a confirmation message. Click OK to continue.
