Starting the Storage Checkpoint Capacity Planning Utility

The Storage Checkpoint Capacity Planning utility operations can be run by the Oracle Database Administrator (typically, the user ID oracle) of the database instance.

Prerequisites

• You must have the appropriate permissions to run the VxDBA utility. The VxDBA utility requires permission changes to allow database administrators to access it. If you did not make these permission changes when prompted during installation, you can grant administrators access to the VxDBA utility now. See Starting VxDBA.

Usage Notes

• You can only use the Storage Checkpoint Capacity Planning utility in an environment that contains no Storage Checkpoints created by other tools or products, including:
• VxDBA utility
• Command line interface using the dbed_ckptcreate command
• VERITAS NetBackup

Each time cron attempts to create a Storage Checkpoint at the time designated in the schedule you create, the Storage Checkpoint Capacity Planning utility checks for the presence of Storage Checkpoints created by other tools or products and fails if it detects any of these other Storage Checkpoints.
