be set to at least 600 seconds (10 minutes) to allow enough time for Recovery Manager to perform
all necessary operations prior to the actual backup.
For example, to set the BPSTART_TIMEOUT and BPEND_TIMEOUT parameters to 600 seconds
(10 minutes), modify the corresponding parameters in /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf on
the backup server as follows:
BPSTART_TIMEOUT = 600
BPEND_TIMEOUT = 600
Setting Up NetBackup Configuration Parameters for the Database Server
If a database is setup for High Availability (HA), then the CLIENT_NAME parameter in the /usr/
openv/netbackup/bp.conf
on the database server should be set to the virtual host name of
the database server instead of the physical host name. This allows a backup image to be restored
to the actual database server even if the database has fail-overed to another database server.
For example, to set the CLIENT_NAME parameter to a virtual host name, modify the corresponding
parameter in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf on the database server as follows:
CLIENT_NAME = <virtual_hostname>
Setting Up HP Data Protector Backup
The following sections describe how to configure HP Data Protector to work with Recovery Manager
for Oracle.
To perform Oracle RMAN with HP Data Protector backup, you must have HP Data Protector Oracle
Agent component installed on the Cell Manager, HP Data Protector client with User Interface and
Oracle Integration components installed on the database servers and backup server. Refer to HP
Data Protector document for installation and configuration instructions. In addition, you must create
an Oracle RMAN Recovery Catalog and configure Oracle TNS Service and Listener to allow
connections to the Recovery Catalog from the database server and backup servers. The Recovery
Catalog can be created on any server. Recovery Manager for Oracle recommends that the Recovery
Catalog be created on the backup server. For more details, see
.
When performing Oracle RMAN with HP Data Protector backup of a database, Recovery Manager
supports full, differential, and cumulative incremental level 1 to level 4 backup. Recovery Manager
also support full archive log backup (backup only archive logs).
Recovery Manager for Oracle requires that you create an HP Data Protector Oracle backup
specification for database backup. If you wish to perform archive log backup, you must create a
separate HP Data Protector Oracle backup specification for it.
NOTE:
This section is intended for users familiar with Oracle Database and HP Data Protector.
For more information on how to create HP Data Protector Oracle backup specification, refer to HP
Data Protector documentation.
NOTE:
With HP Data Protector, Recovery Manager for Oracle only supports Oracle RMAN
backup. File system backup using HP Data Protector is not supported.
