COMMAND
vcdba_removedb
SYNTAX
vcdba_removedb -s <oracle_sid> -p <db_host> -t <timestamp>
[-n <clone_sid>] [-h <clone_oracle_home>] [-f] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
The vcdba_removedb command removes a clone database that was created using the
vcdba_createdb command.
The clone database is shutdown with the shutdown immediate option. All files (Oracle
parameter file, control files, and redo logs), previously created with the vcdba_createdb
command are removed. The virtual copy remains mounted.
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 that was previously used to create the clone database.
-n <clone_sid>
The Oracle SID of the clone database. If this option is not specified, the clone database will
have the same Oracle SID as the original database. If this option is specified along with
-o binary|for_backup , the specified Oracle SID will be ignored.
