HP 3PAR Application Software Suite for Oracle - Manual (Page 62)

•
Create one or two Remote Copy groups, assign all virtual volumes used by datafiles and
archive log destinations to one group if only one group is created, or two separate groups if
two groups are created.
CAUTION: Symantec Volume Manager VxVM: If Symantec Volume Manager VxVM is being
used when assigning HP 3PAR virtual volumes to Remote Copy groups, all volumes in the
same VxVM disk group should be assigned to a Remote Copy group, whether they are actually
being used by the Oracle database or not. Otherwise, you might not be able to import and
mount file systems on the remote backup server. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that Symantec
VxVM disk groups only contain files used by one Oracle database.
HP, Linux, or AIX LVM Volume Manager: If you are using HP, Linux, or AIX LVM Volume
Manager, you must admit all HP 3PAR virtual volumes that are used by the LVM volume groups
to the corresponding Remote Copy volume group, whether the volumes are actually being
used by the Oracle database or not. If you do not do so, you might not be able to import and
mount file systems on the remote backup system.
•
Start Remote Copy and verify its setup and ensure that the Remote Copy groups are in started
status and all virtual volumes are synchronized before using Recovery Manager for Oracle.
Creating a Recovery Manager for Oracle Configuration File Using the Command Line Interface
To create the Recovery Manager for Oracle configuration files:
1.
From the backup server, issue /opt/3PAR/RMOra/bin/rmora_config.
2. When prompted, press ENTER.
3. When prompted, answer the following questions:
•
ORACLE_SID of the database instance [h=help,q=quit]?
Enter ORACLE_SID of the database instance that you want to configure. If the database is an
RAC database, enter ORACLE_SID of any RAC instance.
•
Host name of the database server [h=help,q=quit]?
Enter the host name of the corresponding database server where the specified database
instance is running.
•
Oracle Home of the database instance on the database server
[h=help,q=quit]?
Recovery Manager for Oracle provides a default value for the ORACLE_HOME of the specified
database instance if it can be retrieved from the oratab file.
Press ENTER to accept default value, or enter ORACLE_HOME location of the specified database
instance.
•
Oracle Home of database instance on the backup server
[h=help,s=skip,q=quit]?
Recovery Manager for Oracle assumes that the ORACLE_HOME on the backup server is the
same as the ORACLE_HOME on the database server.
Press ENTER to accept default value, or enter the ORACLE_HOME location on the backup
server. This ORACLE_HOME is needed to create a clone database or to perform RMAN
backup on the backup server. If you do not intend to use these capabilities, you may skip it
by entering s.
•
Oracle Home of ASM instance on the database server [h=help,q=quit]?
Recovery Manager for Oracle detects if the specified Oracle instance is managed by ASM.
If it is, Recovery Manager for Oracle prompts this question and provides a default value for
the ORACLE_HOME of the ASM instance on the database server if it can be retrieved from
the oratab file.
