Recovery Manager for Oracle User’s Guide
To ensure that the database is running in automatic archive log mode, use SQL Plus to ensure
that the Database log mode is Archive Mode and that Automatic archival is
Enabled , as in the following example:
2.4 Interacting with Veritas Volume Manager
Due to restrictions on VxVM, 3PAR Recovery Manager requires a minimum of two disk groups
per database.
Because of the Veritas VxVM disk group limitation of allowing only one imported VxDG per
disk group, Recovery Manager allows only one virtual copy per database to be mounted at a
time. You must unmount the virtual copy for a database after it has been backed up in order to
mount another virtual copy.
