•
If the Oracle recovery catalog database is used, ensure that it is properly
configured and open.
•
Oracle net services must be properly configured and running for the Oracle target
database and the recovery catalog, if you use it.
See the Oracle Recovery Manager User’s Guide and References for more
information about different connection options.
See “
” on page 139 for details about how to check the prerequisites
listed above.
•
On Windows, if the Oracle target database and the Oracle recovery catalog
are installed on two different systems, configure a domain user account that is a
member of the Administrators group on both systems. After that, on the system
with the Oracle target database installed, if the system is not Windows Server
2008, restart the Data Protector Inet service under this account.
For information on how to change the Data Protector Inet service account,
see the online Help index: “changing Data Protector Inet account”.
•
To successfully back up the recovery files residing in the flash recovery area
(Oracle 10g/11g only), ensure that you have correctly configured the flash
recovery area.
•
In case of Real Application Cluster (RAC), each node must have a dedicated disk
for storing archive logs. Such disks must be NFS mounted on all other RAC nodes.
However, if the archive logs are not on a NFS mounted disk, you must modify
the archive log backup specification. See
Limitations
•
The MAXPIECESIZE RMAN parameter option is not supported because the
restore of multiple backup pieces created during a backup is not possible using
the Data Protector Oracle integration.
•
The Data Protector Oracle integration does not support the RMAN disk backup
of a target database to the flash recovery area. The Data Protector Oracle
integration supports only backups from the flash recovery area to a backup device.
However, you can create an RMAN script that backs up the target database to
the flash recovery area before or after the Data Protector backs up files from the
flash recovery area to a backup device. The script can be set up using the
Pre-exec
or Post-exec option when creating a backup specification.
•
On an HP OpenVMS client running the Oracle integration, you can only configure
a Data Protector admin user with the username <Any> and the group name
<Any>
. This limitation is due to the lack of the user group name concept on
OpenVMS.
