If Recovery Manager for Oracle successfully connects to the database, it retrieves the database
tablespaces, datafiles, the archive log destination, and the virtual volumes where the database
resides.
After verification is completed, Recovery Manager for Oracle creates a Virtual Copy repository
on the backup server (/etc/3par/solutions/<db_server>.ora.<oracle_sid>)
and two configuration files are generated along with one subdirectory for database files
mapping information.
/etc/3par/solutions/<db_server>.ora.<oracle_sid>/config
/etc/3par/solutions/<db_server>.ora.<oracle_sid>/config_exp.sh
/etc/3par/solutions/<db_server>.ora.<oracle_sid>/gui
Creating a Recovery Manager for Oracle Configuration File for Remote Copy
Configuration
Before creating the configuration files for Recovery Manager for Oracle to use, you must do the
following:
•
Set up physical links between the local and remote HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems. Refer
to the HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software User’s Guide for instructions on setting up links.
•
Set up Remote Copy targets for the local and remote HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems.
•
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 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 or Linux LVM Volume Manager: If you are using HP or Linux 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 synced before using Recovery Manager for Oracle.
