Test a Physical Snapshot

After you have created and released the physical drive, you can verify that the new volume appears on the host as a drive.

Validate the physical copy from the Oracle FS System Manager GUI.
  1. From the Oracle FS System Manager software on the secondary Oracle FS System, navigate to SAN > Storage > LUNs.
  2. Right-click the physical snapshot LUN and select Modify LUN.
  3. In the Mapping tab, remove the mapping for the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine and create the mapping for the host you will use to validate the data.
  4. Perform a rescan operation to discover new volumes.
  5. Assign this volume, or partition, a drive letter.
    If you have already assigned a drive letter on this server, the server might reuse your settings automatically when the drive comes online. Otherwise, assign an unused drive letter.
  6. Inspect the drive and verify the data.
