Recovery Manager for Oracle User’s Guide
COMMAND
vcdba_config
SYNOPSIS
vcdba_config [-s <oracle_sid> -p <primary_host>]
DESCRIPTION
The vcdba_config command creates or modifies the 3PAR Recovery Manager configuration
file for a database. A configuration file for each database must be created prior to using any
database snapshot (virtual copy) utilities provided by 3PAR Recovery Manager. The
configuration file will be created at /etc/3par/solutions/
<primary_host>.ora.<oracle_sid>/config .
An equivalent environment file is also automatically created for each created configuration
file. It contains all configuration parameters specified in the configuration file. 3PAR Recovery
Manager uses the environment file instead. The environment file is also stored at the same
location as the configuration file.
vcdba_config is an interactive command. The command will prompt for necessary
information depending on a user’s selection. Generally, the command will prompt for the
following information:
■ ORACLE_SID - The Oracle database instance ID. For an RAC database, ORACLE_SID can be
an SID of any instance.
■ ORACLE_HOME - The location of Oracle Home on the database server of the specified
database instance.
■ ORACLE_HOME_BACKUP - The location of Oracle Home on the backup host.
■ ASM_ORACLE_HOME - The location of Oracle Home of the ASM instance on the primary
host. This parameter is only required if the specified database is using ASM.
■ ASM_ORACLE_HOME_BACKUP - The location of Oracle Home of the ASM instance on the
backup host. This parameter is only required if the specified database is using ASM.
■ ORACLE_OWNER - Oracle database owner of the specified database instance.
■ ORACLE_INIT - The Oracle database parameter file ( pfile ) or server parameter file
( spfile ) of the specified database instance. 3PAR Recovery Manager recommends that
spfile should be used. For an RAC database, an spfile is required.
■ ORACLE_PWDFILE - The Oracle password file of the specified database instance, if any.
