A snapplan specifies snapshot scenarios for the DB2 database (such as online, offline, and instant). The snapplan is used as a basis for creating a snapshot. You must either create or validate a snapplan before you can create the snapshot image.
To create a snapplan
Access the Create Snapplan wizard.
The Validate/Modify Snapplan screen is displayed with default values set.
If needed, modify any incorrect settings. Then, click Validate to ensure that the settings have been configured correctly.
For more information regarding the snapplan parameters:
See "Creating and Working with Snapplans Using dbed_vmchecksnap" in the Veritas Storage Foundation for DB2 Administrator's Guide.
At the confirmation prompt, click Yes to confirm that you want to validate the snapplan.
If the snapplan was successfully validated, you will receive a confirmation message.
To see the snapplan details, click the Show details checkbox. The snapplan details are displayed in the pop-up window.
