Enter virtual copy retention time in days(d|D) or hours(h|H)
[h=help,s=skip,q=quit]?
Specifies the amount of time relative to the creation time that the virtual copy will be retained.
Input value should be a positive integer and in the range of 1 hour - 43800 hours (1825
days). d/D means days. h/H means hours. The default value is 0: by default, no retention
time is set for read-only virtual copies.
This prompt only appears in InForm OS 2.3.1 or above.
NOTE: This feature requires the HP 3PAR Virtual Lock Software license.
NOTE: If the database volumes do not belong to any domain, then the read-only virtual
copy's retention time cannot exceed the value of the system's VVRetentionTimeMax. The
default value for the system's VVRetentionTimeMax is 14 days. If the database volumes
belong to a domain, then the read-only virtual copy's retention time cannot exceed the value
of the domain's VVRetentionTimeMax if set. The retention time cannot be removed or
reduced once it is set. The retention time can be extended by rmora_set command.
VVRetentionTimeMax
can be checked via InForm CLI commands showsys -param and
showdomain -d .

Enter Virtual Copy expiration time in days(d|D) or hours(h|H)
[h=help,s=skip,q=quit]? (default=0d) h
There are two ways to maintain the virtual copies in the HP 3PAR storage system:
◦ Time-based policy: Enter an expiration time. When virtual copies expire, they are
automatically removed from the system.
To enter an expiration time, enter the amount of time, relative to the current time, that all
future virtual copies will expire. Valid expiration times range between 1 to 43,800 hours
(1825 days). You can specify the value in days or hours by adding either 'd' or 'D' for
day, or 'h' or 'H' for hours after the amount of time. The default value, '0d', means the
virtual copy has no expiration time.
◦ Count-based or numeric-based policy: Either skip this question or use the default value
'0' for the expiration date. You will be prompted for the maximum virtual copies you want
the system to keep.
NOTE: The numeric-based policy is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
•
Enter maximum number of virtual copies allowed [h=help,q=quit]?
You will be prompted with this question if you did not set the virtual copy's expiration in the
previous question. Enter the maximum number of virtual copies that can be created for the
specified database. Once the maximum number of virtual copies for the database is reached,
Recovery Manager for Oracle removes the oldest virtual copy before creating a new one.
