HP 3PAR Application Software Suite for Oracle Licenses - Manual (Page 55)

The following list describes the restrictions and automated scripts that are generated when
configuring Recovery Manager. The automated scripts will be executed while the rmora_backup
command is running.
For NBU (user-managed) backup:
•
The Symantec NetBackup client must be installed on the backup server and database server.
•
At least one NBU policy of standard type must be created and configured for database backup.
Optionally, a separate NBU policy of standard type can be created and configured for archive
log backup.
For Oracle RMAN backup (to tape or local disk):
•
The backup server must have an equal or higher Oracle major release version than the Oracle
major release version on the database server.
•
To perform RMAN backup to tape, the Symantec NetBackup client must be installed on the
backup server and database server. In addition, Symantec NetBackup for Oracle (Oracle
Agent) must be installed on the backup server, database server, and the NBU master server.
•
To perform RMAN backup to tape, at least one NBU policy of Oracle type must be created
and configured for database backup. Optionally, a separate NBU policy of Oracle type can
be created and configured for archive log backup.
•
Regardless of tape or disk backup, an Oracle RMAN Recovery Catalog database must be
created and configured prior to running this command.
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 backups:
Starts up a clone database in MOUNTED mode, using the mounted Virtual Copy on the
backup server. ◦
◦ Executes the RMAN backup script rmora_rman_dbbackup.sh or
rmora_rman_archbackup.sh
to back up the clone database.
NOTE: The RMAN backup scripts rmora_rman_dbbackup.sh and
rmora_rman_archbackup.sh are generated in
/etc/3par/solutions/<db_server>.ora.<oracle_sid> when you create the
Recovery Manager configuration file.
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
