The Storage Foundation for Databases (SFDB) tools provide a command line interface to many key operations. The command line interface enables you to incorporate command operations into scripts and other administrative processes.

SFDB tools commands supported are located in the /opt/VRTS/bin directory.

The online manual pages for these commands are located in the /opt/VRTS/man directory.

Note:

For a Storage Foundation product database, when you issue the commands, replace $ORACLE_SID with $ORACLE_SID=instance_name and provide the instance name on which the instance is running.

Table: Database Checkpoint commands summarizes the commands available to you from the command line.
