If you install the NetBackup for Oracle client, you must link the Oracle libok.so library
on the database and backup servers to point to the Symantec NetBackup Media Library.
For more information, refer to Symantec’s NetBackup for Oracle documentation.

If you separate the NetBackup master server from the backup server, you must also install
Recovery Manager for Oracle on the NetBackup master server. If you use the Oracle
owner user to perform Recovery Manager for Oracle operations, the same Oracle owner
user and Oracle owner group must exist on the NetBackup master server. No Oracle
binary is required.

If you choose Oracle RMAN for the backup method, you must create an Oracle RMAN
Recovery Catalog and configure Oracle TNS Service and Listener to allow connecting to the
Recovery Catalog from both the database and backup servers. The Recovery Catalog can be
created on any host. Recovery Manager for Oracle recommends that the Recovery Catalog
is created on the backup server. Refer to Oracle documentation for instructions on how to
create a Recovery Catalog, as well as how to configure Oracle TNS Service and Listener.

In Linux:

If you are using the device mapper multi-path, the supported disk formats on the primary
host are:

/dev/mapper/diskname

/dev/mapper/aliasname

/dev/mapper/mpathn

/dev/dm-n

/dev/mpath/diskname

Raw disks (/dev/raw/raw) are not supported.

Each OS disk can only have maximum one partition.

For ext3/ext4 file systems, the journal devices should be within the same file systems

Virtual volume snapshots used by an Oracle database must be mapped to a Common
Provisioning Group (CPG). Refer to the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface Administrator’s
Manual
for details about mapping to CPGs.

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Recovery Manager for Oracle, do not use any
upgrade utilities provided by the system. Instead, use rmora_install.sh to perform the
upgrade.

Refer to the HP 3PAR Implementation Guides for instructions on setting up connections from
hosts to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems and reserving LUNs with specific Host Bus
Adapters (HBAs) and Multipath configurations.

To use the Remote Copy feature, you must configure your HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems
for Remote Copy Software. The HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems must meet the requirements
specified in

“Recovery Manager for Oracle’s Remote Copy Requirements” (page 103)

. For

instructions on configuring storage systems for Remote Copy Software, see the HP 3PAR Remote
Copy Software User’s Guide
.

NOTE:

This version of HP 3PAR Recovery Manager for Oracle supports English only.
