The smo clone split command

Contributors

You can run the clone split command to split a clone. The split clone becomes independent of the original clone. SnapManager generates a new profile after the clone split operation and you can use this profile to manage the split clone.

Parameters

  • -profile clone-profile

    Specifies the profile name from which the clone is created.

  • -host hostname

    Specifies the host name in which the clone exists.

  • -label clone-label

    Specifies the label name generated by the clone operation.

  • -id clone-id

    Specifies the unique ID generated by the clone operation.

  • -split-label split-operation_label

    Specifies the label name generated by the clone operation.

  • -new-profile new-profile_name

    Specifies the new profile name that SnapManager will generate after a successful split operation.

  • -profile-password new-profile_password

    Specifies the password for the profile.

  • -repository

    Specifies the details of the database for the repository.

  • -dbname repo_service_name

    Specifies the name of the database that stores the repository. You can use either the global name or system identifier.

  • -host repo_host

    Specifies the name or IP address of the host computer on which the repository database resides.

  • -port repo_port

    Specifies the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port number used to access the host on which the repository database resides.

  • -login

    Specifies the repository login details. This is optional. If not specified, SnapManager defaults to OS Authentication Connection Mode.

  • -username repo_username

    Specifies the user name required to access the host on which the repository database resides.

  • -database

    Specifies the details of the database that will be backed up, restored, or cloned.

  • -dbname db_dbname

    Specifies the name of the database that the profile describes. You can use either the global name or system identifier.

  • -host db_host

    Specifies the name or IP address of the host computer on which the database resides.

  • -sid db_sid

    Specifies the system identifier of the database that the profile describes. By default, SnapManager uses the database name as the system identifier. If the system identifier is different from the database name, you must specify it using the -sid option.

    For example, if you are using Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), you must specify the system identifier of the RAC instance on the RAC node from which SnapManager is executed.

  • -login

    Specifies the database login details.

  • -username db_username

    Specifies the user name needed to access the database that the profile describes.

  • -password db_password

    Specifies the password needed to access the database that the profile describes.

  • -rman

    Specifies the details that SnapManager uses to catalog backups with Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN).

  • -controlfile

    Specifies the target database control files as the RMAN repository instead of a catalog.

  • -login

    Specifies the RMAN login details.

  • -password rman_password

    Specifies the password used to log in to the RMAN catalog.

  • -username rman_username

    Specifies the user name used to log in to the RMAN catalog.

  • -tnsname tnsname

    Specifies the tnsname connection name (this is defined in the tsname.ora file).

  • -osaccount osaccount

    Specifies the name of the Oracle database user account. SnapManager uses this account to perform the Oracle operations such as startup and shutdown. It is typically the user who owns the Oracle software on the host, for example, oracle.

  • -osgroup osgroup

    Specifies the name of the Oracle database group name associated with the oracle account.

    Note The -osaccount and -osgroup variables are required for UNIX but not allowed for databases running on Windows.

  • -retain [-hourly [-count n] [-duration m]] [-daily [-count n] [-duration m]] [-weekly [-count n] [-duration m]] [-monthly [-count n] [-duration m]]

    Specifies the retention policy for a backup.

    For each retention class, either or both the retention count or retention duration might be specified. The duration is in units of the class (for example, hours for hourly, days for daily). For instance, if you specify only a retention duration of 7 for daily backups, then SnapManager will not limit the number of daily backups for the profile (because the retention count is 0), but SnapManager will automatically delete daily backups created over 7 days ago.

  • -profile-comment profile-comment

    Specifies the comment for a profile describing the profile domain.

  • -snapname-pattern pattern

    Specifies the naming pattern for Snapshot copies. You can also include custom text, for example, HAOPS for highly available operations, in all Snapshot copy names. You can change the Snapshot copy naming pattern when you create a profile or after the profile has been created. The updated pattern applies only to Snapshot copies that have not yet been created. Snapshot copies that exist retain the previous Snapname pattern. You can use several variables in the pattern text.

  • -protect -protection-policy policy_name

    Specifies whether the backup should be protected to secondary storage.

    Note If -protect is specified without -protection-policy, then the dataset will not have a protection policy. If -protect is specified and -protection-policy is not set when the profile is created, then it may be set later by the smo profile update command or set by the storage administrator by using the Protection Manager's console.

  • -summary-notification

    Specifies the details for configuring summary email notification for multiple profiles under a repository database. SnapManager generates this email.

  • -notification

    Specifies the details for configuring email notification for the new profile. SnapManager generates this email. The email notification enables the database administrator to receive emails on the succeeded or failed status of the database operation that is performed by using this profile.

  • -success

    Specifies that email notification is enabled for a profile for when the SnapManager operation succeeds.

  • -email email address 1 email address 2

    Specifies the email address of the recipient.

  • -subject subject-pattern

    Specifies the email subject.

  • -failure

    Specifies that email notification is enabled for a profile for when the SnapManager operation fails.

  • -separate-archivelog-backups

    Specifies that the archive log backup is separated from the datafile backup. This is an optional parameter, which you can provide while creating the profile. After the backups are separated by using this option, you can either create datafiles-only backup or archive logs-only backup.

  • -retain-archivelog-backups -hours hours | -daysdays | -weeksweeks| -monthsmonths

    Specifies that the archive log backups are retained based on the archive log retention duration (hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly).

  • protect [-protection-policypolicy_name] | -noprotect

    Specifies that the archive log files is protected based on the archive log protection policy.

    Specifies that the archive log files are not protected by using the -noprotect option.

  • -include-with-online-backups | -no-include-with-online-backups

    Specifies that the archive log backup is included along with the online database backup.

    Specifies that the archive log backups are not included along with the online database backup.

  • -dump

    Specifies that the dump files are not collected after the successful profile create operation.

  • -quiet

    Displays only error messages in the console. The default setting displays error and warning messages.

  • -verbose

    Displays error, warning, and informational messages in the console.
