HP 3PAR Application Software Suite for Oracle - Manual (Page 89)

For additional details on creating configuration files with or without the Remote Copy feature, see
“Recovery Manager for Oracle Configuration Files” (page 44) .
NOTE: The configuration file cannot be recreated if it already exists in the repository. You can
modify the configuration as needed, or remove the configuration before a new one can be created.
Modifying Configuration Files
Configuration files can only be modified from the host node level. Modifications are made in the
config
and config_exp.sh files in the repository.
Removing Configuration Files
Configuration files can be removed if there are no virtual copies existing in the repository. When
configuration files are removed, the entire repository is also removed.
Configuring Email
In order to receive Email notification for the completion of scheduled tasks, you must configure
Email settings.

Creating a Virtual Copy
This feature supports backup for online, offline, datafile, and archive log destinations.
Creating a virtual copy requires the database server and the Oracle SID. Perform this function
through the menu, tool bar, and popup menu.
To create a virtual copy, perform the following procedure:
1.
Right-click Virtual Copy Management under the database on which you wish to create the
virtual copy from the navigation tree.
2. Select Create Virtual Copy.
The Create Virtual Copy wizard appears.
3. Select the desired options from the Backup Method group box.
•
Online (Hot) backup - The involved database instance must be open for this operation.
The database is put in backup mode before the virtual copy is created. After the virtual
copy creation is completed, the database is taken out of backup mode.
•
Offline (Cold) backup - The involved database instance must be shut down normally for
this operation.
•
Datafile only - The involved database instance must be open for this operation. The
database is put in backup mode before the virtual copy is created. After the virtual copy
creation is completed, the database is taken out of backup mode. This backup only takes
a virtual copy for all datafiles; not archive log destination. A virtual copy created with
this option is only useful when archive logfiles generated during the creation of the virtual
copy are also available. You may want to create separate virtual copies using the Archive
log destination only option.
•
Archive log destination only - The involved database instance must be open for this
operation. The database is forced to switch logs before a virtual copy of archive logs is
created.
4. (Optional) Select the virtual copy’s Expiration Time and/or Retention Time by selecting the
unit of measure (Days or Hours) and entering a numeric value from 1 to 1,825 (days) or 1 to
