Implementing SnapValidator checks

You can protect a new Oracle database stored on a storage system by implementing Oracle Hardware Assistant Resilient Data (H.A.R.D.) checks to detect and reject invalid Oracle data before it is written to the storage system.

1. Licensing SnapValidator
   Before you can use SnapValidator, you must install the license on the storage system.
2. Enabling SnapValidator checks on volumes
   You enable SnapValidator checks at the volume level.
3. Enabling SnapValidator checks on LUNs
   If you enable SnapValidator on volumes that contain database LUNs, you must also enable SnapValidator checks on the LUNs to ensure that SnapValidator does not check write operations to the disk label or partition areas as if they were Oracle write operations.
