swlist VRTSdbed

DESCRIPTION

The dbed_ckptremove command is used to remove a Storage Checkpoint from the file system(s) it is associated with. The Storage Checkpoint must have been created using the GUI, the VxDBA utility, or the dbed_ckptcreate command.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-S ORACLE_SID

Specifies the name of the Oracle database whose Storage Checkpoint will be removed.

-c CKPT_NAME

Specifies the name of the Storage Checkpoint to be removed.

-h

Shows command usage.

NOTES

dbed_ckptremove can be run as either the Oracle DBA or the superuser.

Storage Checkpoints that are currently mounted must be unmounted before they can be removed. The dbed_ckptremove command will return device busy if a Storage Checkpoint is still mounted.

Removing a Storage Checkpoint may or may not free up file system space. The amount of space allocated to a Storage Checkpoint can be examined using the VxDBA utility and dbed_ckptdisplay with the -Q option.
