It would be like a shutdown abort copy right ?

i.e when started oracle would do a crash recovery since the snapshot includes online logs.

We can shutdown the database and then roll it forward

where am I going wrong ?

be aware that a database in a filesystem snaphot looks EXACTLY like it would if you pulled the electricity from the database server when Oracle was up and running. You cannot roll forward from such an image. NetApp documents all this quite well...just be aware that there is no magic ...

Oracle OnDemand, which hosts more than 1000 databases on netapp filers, uses this snapshot functionality for backup. you are not alone :)
