For virtual copies from an ASM-managed database, based on the different ASM database
releases on the backup server, the operation is different.

For ASM versions 10.2.0.5, 11.0.1.7 or above, if an ASM instance exists and is up on
the backup server, then all diskgroups from the virtual copy are mounted in this ASM
instance. Otherwise, an ASM instance is started up on the backup server, and all ASM
disk groups in the virtual copy are mounted.

For ASM versions lower than the releases mentioned in the previous bullet, if an ASM
instance is up on the backup server, the mount utility checks if there is any mounted
diskgroup. If none, the ASM instance is shut down, otherwise, the mount utility gives an
error and exits. If there are no errors, a new ASM instance is started up and all diskgroups
contained in the current virtual copy are mounted.

Mounts all snapshot file systems if the database files reside on file systems.

You must run this command as a super user or Oracle owner user from the backup server. To allow
the Oracle Database Administrator (Oracle owner) to run this command, an identical Oracle
Database Administrator user must exist on backup server. In addition, permission on the Recovery
Manager for Oracle Installation and Repository directories must be changed appropriately.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-s <oracle_sid>

The Oracle SID of the database instance. For a Real Application Cluster (RAC) database, an Oracle
SID of any RAC instance can be specified.

-p <db_server>

The corresponding host name of the database server where the specified Oracle database instance
is running. The value of the database server name must match the output of the hostname
command.

-t <timestamp>

The timestamp of a virtual copy. It is also the name of the virtual copy. The virtual copy name can
be obtained using the rmora_display command.

-m <mountpoint>

The destination location where the virtual copy is mounted. The current user must have permission
to write to this location. By default, the virtual copy will be mounted at
/etc/3par/solutions/<db_server>.ora.<oracle_sid>/<timestamp>

. If the virtual

copy is for an ASM-managed database, this option will be ignored.

-r

Remounts a virtual copy that has previously been mounted, but has been unmounted due to system
reboot. This option is also helpful where a virtual copy has previously been partially mounted.

-v

Runs the command in verbose mode.
