the current time, that the volume will be retained. To specify a retention time, specify a value
between 1 to 43,800 hours (1825 days).
Retention time considerations:
◦ This feature requires a separate HP 3PAR Virtual Lock license.
◦ The maximum retention time (VVRetentionTimeMax) is either the system's
VVRetentionTimeMax (1825 days) or the virtual domain's VVRetentionTimeMax.
– If the volume belongs to a domain, then its retention time cannot exceed the value
of the domain's VVRetentionTimeMax (if set).
– If the volume does not belong to a domain, then its retention time cannot exceed the
value of the system's VVRetentionTimeMax. The default value for the system's
VVRetentionTimeMax is 14 days.
◦ If you are setting both an expiration time and a retention time, the retention time cannot
be longer than the expiration time.
◦ A value of 0 specifies that the database virtual copy be created without a retention time.
◦ After you set a retention time, you cannot remove or reduce the retention time.
•
VCEXPIRATION - The default expiration time for database virtual copies created using Recovery
Manager for Oracle Software. This feature can be used to remove expired database virtual
copies automatically from the system. This feature is only applicable for InForm 2.3.1 or above.
The value is ranged from 0 to 1825 days. A value of zero indicates that the database virtual
copy is created without expiration. You can set either the expiration time or the maximum
number of virtual copies, but not both.
•
VCDBA_MAXVC - The maximum number of the database virtual copies allowed at any time.
Enter a number between 1 and 500 (inclusive).
•
VCDBA_RM_OLDVC - The flag indicates if an oldest virtual copy should be removed before
creating a new virtual copy when the number of virtual copies exceeds the maximum allowed.
•
BACKUPTOOL - The backup method to be used for backing up a database virtual copy
(snapshot). The two backup methods currently supported by Recovery Manager for Oracle
are NBU backup and RMAN backup. If the specified database is an ASM-managed database,
the only supported backup method is RMAN backup.
•
NBU_MASTER_SERVER - The Symantec NBU master server.
•
DBFILE_CLASS_NAME - The Symantec NBU policy name for backing up database files.
•
ARCH_CLASS_NAME - The Symantec NBU policy name for backing up archive logs.
•
DBFILE_SCHED_FULL - The Symantec NBU schedule name for backing up database files.
•
ARCH_SCHED_FULL - The Symantec NBU schedule name for backing up archive logs (full
backup).
•
ARCH_SCHED_INCR - The Symantec NBU schedule name for backing up archive logs
(incremental backup).
•
RMAN_CONN_STR - The RMAN connection string for connecting to the Oracle Recovery Catalog
from the database server and the backup server.
•
RMAN_CHANNEL_TYPE - The RMAN channel type is either SBT_TAPE or DISK.
•
RMAN_NO_CHANNEL - The number of RMAN channels to be allocated during backup and
restore.
