HP 3PAR Application Software Suite for Oracle - Manual (Page 27)

◦ If you install the NetBackup for Oracle client, you must link the Oracle libobk.so library
on the database and backup servers to point to the Symantec NetBackup Media Library.
For more information, refer to Symantec’s NetBackup for Oracle documentation.
◦ If you separate the NetBackup master server from the backup server, you must also install
Recovery Manager for Oracle on the NetBackup master server. If you use the Oracle
owner user to perform Recovery Manager for Oracle operations, the same Oracle owner
user and Oracle owner group must exist on the NetBackup master server. No Oracle
binary is required.
•
If you are using HP Data Protector:
HP Data Protector client with Oracle Integration Agent and User Interface components
must be installed on the Recovery Manager for Oracle database server and backup
servers. ◦
◦ The Transparent Network Substrate (TNS) net service name must be pre-configured for
the database instance on the database server.
◦ The same TNS net service name must be pre-configured for the clone database instance
on the backup server. During the backup process, a clone database will be brought up
on the backup server.
◦ Oracle Home must be the same between the Recovery Manager for Oracle database
server and backup server.
•
If you choose Oracle RMAN for the backup method, you must create an Oracle RMAN
Recovery Catalog and configure Oracle TNS Service and Listener to allow connecting to the
Recovery Catalog from both the database and backup servers. The Recovery Catalog can be
created on any host. Recovery Manager for Oracle recommends that the Recovery Catalog
is created on the backup server. Refer to Oracle documentation for instructions on how to
create a Recovery Catalog, as well as how to configure Oracle TNS Service and Listener.

In Linux:
If you are using the device mapper multi-path, the supported disk formats on the database
server are: ◦
– /dev/mapper/diskname
– /dev/mapper/aliasname
– /dev/mapper/mpathn
– /dev/dm-n
– /dev/mpath/diskname
◦ Raw disks (/dev/raw/raw) are not supported.
◦ Each OS disk can only have maximum one partition.
◦ For ext3/ext4 file systems, the journal devices should be within the same file systems
•
Virtual volume snapshots used by an Oracle database must be mapped to a Common
Provisioning Group (CPG). Refer to the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface Administrator’s
Manual for details about mapping to CPGs.

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Recovery Manager for Oracle, do not use any
upgrade utilities provided by the system. Instead, use rmora_install.sh to perform the
upgrade.
