The following procedures describe the additional steps required to use SFDB tools in a VVR environment.

Adding a virtual hostname
Using existing Database Storage Checkpoints at the primary site after the DR switchover
Creating new Database Storage Checkpoints at the remote site
Using Database FlashSnap with VVR replication
Using Database Dynamic Storage Tiering (DBDST)with VVR replication

For SFDB commands to work in general in a site replicated with VVR, the following steps must be performed.

To run SFDB commands in a VVR environment

Stop VVR replication.
Run fsck for all database volumes on the replicated site.
Mount the database volume file systems.
As Oracle user, run the dbed_update to either update or create the SFDB repository, depending on your use case.
Run the SFDB commands as needed for your tasks.
After finishing your SFDB tasks:
- Shut down the database.
- Unmount the volumes.
Resume VVR replication.
