Mounting a Virtual Copy
After a Virtual Copy is created, it can be mounted on the backup server where the Recovery
Manager for Oracle GUI is running.
To mount a Virtual Copy, perform the following procedure:
1.
Right-click the Virtual Copy you wish to mount.
2. Click Mount.
A screen appears showing the Virtual Copy name, and creation time. You are prompted for
the mount point where you want the Virtual Copy to be mounted on the backup server. The
default mount point is:
/etc/3par/solutions/<db_server>.ora.<oracle_sid>/<timestamp>
3. Click Finish.
Recovery Manager for Oracle begins mounting all the file systems for you. When the mounting
of the file systems is complete, a screen displays the successful message.
4. Click OK.
In the Virtual Volume State column, Mounted should be displayed to indicate that the Virtual Copy
is mounted on the backup server. The mount point is also displayed to indicate the location of the
mounted file systems.
After a Virtual Copy is in the Mounted state, a database instance can be created on the backup
server by cloning the database (see
“Cloning a Database” (page 109) ).
For more information about using the CLI to mount a Virtual Copy, see “rmora_mount” (page

When a Virtual Copy is in the Mounted state, an unmount operation can be executed.
To unmount a Virtual Copy:

Right-click the Virtual Copy to unmount.
2. Click Unmount.
3. Click Finish.
A successful message shows on screen after it is finished.
4. Click OK.
The Virtual Volume State column for this Virtual Copy changes to Available.
