Recovery Manager 3.0.3/3.0.4 for Oracle User’s Guide
COMMAND
vcdba_remove
SYNTAX
vcdba_remove -s <oracle_sid> -p <db_host> -t <timestamp> [-v]
DESCRIPTION
Removes a virtual copy.
The vcdba_remove command removes a virtual copy created by the vcdba_create
command. The virtual copy must have Available status in order to be removed. The status of
the virtual copy can be retrieved using the vcdba_display command. A virtual copy cannot
be removed if its retention time, if set, has not expired.
If the specified virtual copy has been backed up, the actual database virtual copy is removed,
but its repository remains for database restoration purposes. To remove the virtual copy's
repository, use the vcdba_rmrep command. If the virtual copy's repository is removed,
Recovery Manager will not be able to perform a database restore operation even if the virtual
copy has been backed up.
You must run this command as a super user from the backup host. To allow the Oracle
Database Administrator (Oracle Owner) to run this command, an identical Oracle Database
Administrator user must exist on backup host. In addition, permission on the 3PAR Recovery
Manager Installation and Repository directories must be changed appropriately.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-s <oracle_sid>
The Oracle SID of the database instance. For Real Application Cluster (RAC) database, an
Oracle SID of any RAC instance can be specified.
-p <db_host>
The corresponding host name of the database host where the specified Oracle database
instance is running. The value of the database host name must match the output of the
hostname command.
-t <timestamp>
The timestamp of a virtual copy. It is also the name of the virtual copy. The virtual copy
name can be obtained using the vcdba_display command.
