8.3 Database Volumes Under Veritas VxVM Control

If any of the database volumes are under Veritas VxVM control, perform the following

procedures.

8.3.1 Rollback with Read-Write Virtual Copies

1

On both the backup host and the primary host:

a

Shutdown both databases. For the cloned database on the backup host, you should

perform log switches to make sure all online redo logs are switched to archive log files

and that they are physically on the disk before you shutdown the cloned database. Or

you can FTP over all online redo log files to the primary host, which can be used when

performing database recovery.

b

Manually unmount all file systems used by both databases. Do not use the

vcdba_umount

utility in this step, which not only unmounts the file systems, but also

removes the read-write virtual copy from the InServ Storage Server. If ASM is being

used, unmount all involved ASM disk groups.

c

Deport the VxVM disk groups (used by datafiles and archive log destination).

Example:

On the backup host:

On the primary host:

Disk groups with trailing timestamps are created by Recovery Manager when performing a

database backup. They can be found in the virtual copy repository.

2

On the InServ Storage Server, remove the VLUNs used by datafiles and archive log

destination by issuing the

removevlun <vvname> <lun> <host>

command.
