HP A.06.11 - Manual (Page 314)

online backup A backup performed while a database application remains
available for use. The database is placed into a special backup
mode of operation for the time period that the backup
application requires access to the original data objects. During
this period, the database is fully operational, but there may be
a small performance impact and log files may grow very quickly.
• For simple backup methods (non ZDB), backup mode is
required for the whole backup period (several minutes or
hours). For instance, for backup to tape, until streaming of
data to tape is finished.
• For ZDB methods, backup mode is required for the short
period of the data replication process only (several seconds).
Normal database operation can then be resumed for the
rest of the backup process.
In some cases, transaction logs may also have to be backed up
to allow a consistent database to be restored.

online redo log (Oracle specific term) Redo logs that have not been archived,
but are either available to the instance for recording database
activity or are filled and waiting to be archived or reused.

OpenSSH A set of network connectivity tools used to access remote
machines securely, by using a variety of authentication and
encryption methods. It needs to be installed and configured on
the Installation Server and the client if you perform remote
installation using secure shell.
Oracle Data Guard (Oracle specific term) Oracle Data Guard is Oracle’s primary
disaster recovery solution. Oracle Data Guard is able to
maintain up to nine standby databases, each of which is a
real-time copy of the production (primary) database, to protect
against corruptions, data failures, human errors, and disasters.
If a failure occurs on the production (primary) database, then
a failover to one of the standby databases which becomes the
new primary database is possible. In addition, planned
downtime for maintenance can be reduced because the
production processing can be moved from the current primary
database to a standby database and back quickly.
