Chris,
What I plan to do is to issue the series of ALTER TABLESPACE BEGIN
BACKUP
commands, to cover all the tablespaces, _before_ the Snaphshot is
created
and then issue the ALTER TABLESPACE END BACKUP commands, without
using the ALTER SYSTEM SUSPEND.
I will be referring to
not be necessary -- was RE: Oracle DB Backups on SAN with
Jeremiah / Deborah,
My understanding is/was that the Snapshot creation wasn't
atomic -- it can
take a little bit of time
and, therefore, it becomes necessary to suspend I/O.
Now, I haven't had a chance yet to speak to the Sun/Hitachi
