HP 3PAR Application Software Suite for Oracle - Manual (Page 86)

•
The retention time set during configuration time serves as the default value all virtual copies
created thereafter.
•
The retention time can be specified during a virtual copy creation to overwrite the retention
value set during the Recovery Manager for Oracle configuration.
•
The retention time can be modified but it can not be lower than the original setting.
•
The retention time can be specified in hours or days.
•
The minimum value for retention time is 1 hour and the maximum value is 43800 hours (1825
days or 5 years).
•
The retention time can be set to 0 indicating that a database virtual copy has no retention
time and can be removed immediately.
•
If the original database volumes do not belong to any domain, then the retention time can not
exceed the system’s VVRetentionTimeMax if set.
•
If the original database volumes belong to a domain, then the retention time cannot exceed
the domain’s maximum retention time if set.
•
The database virtual copies with retention time cannot be removed until the end of the retention
time period. Recovery Manager for Oracle relies on the InForm OS to enforce this restriction.
OPTIONS
-s <oracle_sid>
The Oracle SID of the database instance. For Real Application Cluster (RAC) database, an Oracle
SID of any RAC instance can be specified.
-p <db_server>
The corresponding hostname of the database server, where the specified Oracle database instance
is running. The value of the database servername must matches the output of the hostname
command.
-t <timestamp>
The name <timestamp> of a virtual copy which retention time will be changed. The virtual copy
name can be obtained using rmora_display command.
-r <time>{d|D|h|H}
Specifies the amount of time, relative to the current time, that the virtual copy will be set. <time>
is a positive integer value and in the range of 1 to 43800 hours (1825 days). d|D means days.
h|H
means hours. A value of 0 indicating that the virtual copy will have no retention time.
-e <time>{d|D|h|H}
Specifies the relative time from the current time that volume will expire. <time> is a positive integer
value and in the range of 1 to 43,800 hours (1825 days). d|D means days. h|H means hours.
If the -r option is used, the expiration time must be equal to or longer than the retention time.
-v
Runs the command in verbose mode.
-f
Force to set or extend the specified virtual copy with a new retention time. If retention time is
specified through the -r option, this option must be specified.
