To create a clone of a Database Storage Checkpoint

• Use the following command.

  $ /opt/VRTSdbed/bin/vxsfadm -s checkpoint -o clone -a db2 \
  --db2instance db2inst1 --db2database proddb \
  --checkpoint_name XYZ --clone_name clone1 \
  --clone_path /tmp/testclonepath
  Creating Storage Checkpoint XYZ_rw_1334030056 ... Done
  Storage Checkpoint XYZ_rw_1334030056 created
  Mounting Checkpoint to /tmp/testclonepath... Done
  Relocating/ Renaming clone database clone1 ... Done
  Initializing clone database clone1 ... Done
  Activating clone database clone1 ... Done

  This command creates a Storage Checkpoint of the Database Storage Checkpoint XYZ and then mounts the newly created Database Storage Checkpoint to the specified mount point in the read-write mode and recovers the mounted Storage Checkpoint.

  If you do not specify checkpoint_name and clone_name, they are automatically generated.

  Note:

  This command maintains the point-in-time copy of the original Database Storage Checkpoint.
