Mounting Storage Checkpoints Using dbed_ckptmount

You can use the VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle dbed_ckptmount command to mount a Storage Checkpoint for an Oracle database from the command line.

Prerequisites

• You may be logged in as either the database administrator or root.

Usage Notes

• The dbed_ckptmount command is used to mount a Storage Checkpoint into the file system namespace. Mounted Storage Checkpoints appear as any other file system on the machine and can be accessed using all normal file system based commands.
• Storage Checkpoints can be mounted as read-only or read-write. By default, Storage Checkpoints are mounted as read-only.
• If the rw (read-write) option is used, _wrxxx, where xxx is an integer, will be appended to the Storage Checkpoint name.
• If the specified mount point directory does not exist, then dbed_ckptmount creates it before mounting the Storage Checkpoint, as long as the Oracle DBA user has permission to create it.
• Database FlashSnap commands are integrated with Storage Checkpoint functionality. It is possible to display and mount Storage Checkpoints carried over with snapshot volumes to a secondary host. However limitations apply. For details, refer to Mounting the Snapshot Volumes and Backing Up.
• See the dbed_ckptmount(1M)manual page for more information.
