For NBU (user-managed) backup, Recovery Manager for Oracle:

•

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

file on the NBU client (the

backup server).

•

Calls the bpbackup command from the NBU master server to backup files listed in the include
list.

For Oracle RMAN with HP Data Protector, Recovery Manager for Oracle:

•

Starts up a clone database in mounted mode using the mounted Virtual Copy on the Recovery
Manager for Oracle backup server

•

Calls HP Data Protector CLI (omnib) to initiate a backup of the clone database.

•

Removes the cloned database.

•

Unmounts the Virtual Copy.

For Oracle RMAN and Oracle RMAN with Symantec NetBackup, Recovery Manager for Oracle:

•

Starts up a clone database in mounted mode using the mounted Virtual Copy on the Recovery
Manager for Oracle backup server.

•

Calls an RMAN backup script (rmora_rman_dbbackup.sh or
rmora_rman_archbackup.sh

) to backup the cloned database.

•

Removes the cloned database.

•

Unmounts the Virtual Copy.

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>

during the creation of the

Recovery Manager Configuration file.

Server-side Backup

NOTE:

NBU server-side backup can be used when Recovery Manager for Oracle is configured

to run as either a root user or an Oracle owner.

NOTE:

If Recovery Manager for Oracle is configured to be run as an Oracle user and this is an

upgrade from previous Recovery Manager release, the rmora_config command must be run
again for each database that is configured for server-side backup.

During server-side backup, Symantec NetBackup or HP Data Protector initiates a backup process
on the Symantec NetBackup or HP Data Protector client (the backup server).

For an NBU (user-managed) backup:

•

The NBU client executes the bpstart_notify.<policy_name> script.

•

The bpstart_notify script creates a Virtual Copy of the database or archive log destination,
mounts it on the backup server, then generates the include list in the
/usr/openv/netbackup/include_list.<policy_name>

file, which contains a list of

files on the Virtual Copy for backup.

•

Once the backup process is completed, the NBU client executes the
bpend_notify.<policy_name>

script to perform Virtual Copy cleanup.
