backup (archlog). Refer to Recovery Manager User's Guide for detail on how to create HP
Data Protector Backup Specification.

Depending on which backup method has been configured for the Recovery Manager, the
rmora_backup

command performs the following actions:

Creates a Virtual Copy (online, offline, datafile, or archlog) for the database or archive log
destination if a Virtual Copy is not specified. If VCRETENTION is specified in the configuration
file, the create operation will use -f option to force to create the read-only Virtual Copy with
a retention time.

Mounts the Virtual Copy on the backup server.

For NetBackup (user-managed) backups:

Generates an include list file, which contains a list of datafiles and/or the archive log
destination, on the mounted Virtual Copy and stores it in

/usr/openv/netbackup/include_list.<policy_name>

on the NetBackup client

(the backup server).

Initiates an immediate backup of the Virtual Copy by calling the NetBackup bpbackup
command on the NetBackup master server.

For Oracle RMAN or Oracle RMAN with Symantec NetBackup backup:

Starts up a clone database in MOUNTED mode using the mounted virtual copy on the
backup server.

Executes the RMAN backup scripts rmora_rman_dbbackup.sh or
rmora_rman_archbackup.sh

to backup the clone database.

NOTE:

The RMAN backup scripts (rmora_rman_dbbackup.sh and

rmora_rman_archbackup.sh

) are generated at

/etc/3par/solutions/<db_server>.ora.<oracle_sid> when creating Recovery Manager
configuration file (see

“rmora_config” (page 73)

).

For Oracle RMAN with HP Data Protector backup:

Starts up a clone database in MOUNTED mode using the mounted virtual copy on the
backup server.

Executes HP Data Protector backup CLI (omnib) on the backup server to initiate the
backup.

You must run this command as a super user or Oracle owner user from the backup server. To allow
the Oracle Database Administrator (Oracle Owner) to run this command, an identical Oracle
Database Administrator user must exist on the backup server. If the Symantec NetBackup master
server is separate from the Recovery Manager for Oracle backup server, the Oracle Database
Administrator user and group must exist on the NetBackup master server. In addition, permission
on the Recovery Manager for Oracle Installation and Repository directories must be changed
appropriately.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-s <oracle_sid>

The Oracle SID of the database instance. For Real Application Cluster (RAC) database, an Oracle
SID of any RAC instance can be specified.

-p <db_server>
