Refreshing Virtual Copy Information
You can update virtual copy information that includes Backup Type, Backup Key, Mount point and
Virtual Volume State. If a new virtual copy is created outside of the Recovery Manager for Oracle
GUI, the virtual copy is added to the navigation view.
1.
Select Virtual Copy Management from the navigation view.
2. Select Refresh from the Virtual Copies pull-down menu.
NOTE: The refresh process begins immediately. It takes a few minutes depending on the
number of virtual copies in the Recovery Manager for Oracle repository.
Mounting a Virtual Copy
After a virtual copy is created, it can be mounted on the backup server where the Recovery Manager
for Oracle GUI is running.
To mount a virtual copy, perform the following procedure:
1.
Right-click the virtual copy you wish to mount.
2. Click Mount.
A screen appears showing the virtual copy name, and creation time. You are prompted for
the mount point where you want the virtual copy being mounted on the backup server. The
default mount point is:
/etc/3par/solutions/<db_server>.ora.<oracle_sid>/<timestamp>
3. Click Finish.
Recovery Manager for Oracle begins mounting all the file systems for you. When the mounting
of the file systems is complete, a screen displays the successful message.
4. Click OK.
In the Virtual Volume State column, Mounted should be displayed indicating that the virtual copies
are mounted on the backup server. The mount point is also displayed indicating the location of
the mounted file systems.
After a virtual copy is in the Mounted state, a database instance can be created on the backup
server by cloning the database (see
“Cloning a Database” (page 95) ).
Unmounting a Virtual Copy
After a virtual copy is in the Mounted state, an unmount operation can be executed.
To unmount a virtual copy:
1.
Right-click the virtual copy you wish to unmount.
2. Click Unmount.
3. Click Finish.
A successful message shows on screen after it is finished.
