Recovery Manager 3.0.3/3.0.4 for Oracle User’s Guide
■ The RMAN backup scripts ( vcdba_rman_dbbackup.sh and
vcdba_rman_archbackup.sh ) are generated at / etc/3par/solutions/
<db_host>.ora.<oracle_sid> during the creation of the Recovery Manager
configuration file (see vcdba_config ).
Depending on which backup method has been configured for the Recovery Manager, the
vcdba_backup command performs the following actions:
■ Creates a virtual copy (online, offline, or datafile) 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 host.
■ For NBU (user-managed) backups, generates an include list file, that contains a list of
datafiles and/or archive log destination on the mounted virtual copy and stores it in /usr/
openv/netbackup/include_list.<policy_name> on the NBU client (the backup
host).
You must run this command as a super user from the backup host. To allow the Oracle
Database Administrator (Oracle Owner) to run this command, an identical Oracle Database
Administrator user must exist on the backup host. In addition, permission on the 3PAR
Recovery Manager 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_host>
The host name of the database host, on which the Oracle database instance is running. The
value of the database host name must match the output of the hostname command.
-t <timestamp>
The timestamp of a virtual copy to be backed up. The virtual copy name can be obtained
using the vcdba_display command.
