For NBU (user-managed) backup, Recovery Manager for Oracle:

Generates an include list file that contains a list of datafiles and/or archive log destination
on the mounted Virtual Copy and stores it in the
/usr/openv/netbackup/include_list.

file on the NBU client (the

backup server).

Calls the bpbackup command from the NBU master server to backup files listed in the include
list.

For Oracle RMAN with HP Data Protector, Recovery Manager for Oracle:

Starts up a clone database in mounted mode using the mounted Virtual Copy on the Recovery
Manager for Oracle backup server

Calls HP Data Protector CLI (omnib) to initiate a backup of the clone database.

Removes the cloned database.

Unmounts the Virtual Copy.

For Oracle RMAN and Oracle RMAN with Symantec NetBackup, Recovery Manager for Oracle:

Starts up a clone database in mounted mode using the mounted Virtual Copy on the Recovery
Manager for Oracle backup server.

Calls an RMAN backup script (rmora_rman_dbbackup.sh or
rmora_rman_archbackup.sh

) to backup the cloned database.

Removes the cloned database.

Unmounts the Virtual Copy.

NOTE:

The RMAN backup scripts (rmora_rman_dbbackup.sh and

rmora_rman_archbackup.sh)

are generated at

/etc/3par/solutions/.ora.

during the creation of the

Recovery Manager Configuration file.

Server-side Backup

NOTE:

NBU server-side backup can be used when Recovery Manager for Oracle is configured

to run as either a root user or an Oracle owner.

NOTE:

If Recovery Manager for Oracle is configured to be run as an Oracle user and this is an

upgrade from previous Recovery Manager release, the rmora_config command must be run
again for each database that is configured for server-side backup.

During server-side backup, Symantec NetBackup or HP Data Protector initiates a backup process
on the Symantec NetBackup or HP Data Protector client (the backup server).

For an NBU (user-managed) backup:

The NBU client executes the bpstart_notify. script.

The bpstart_notify script creates a Virtual Copy of the database or archive log destination,
mounts it on the backup server, then generates the include list in the
/usr/openv/netbackup/include_list.

file, which contains a list of

files on the Virtual Copy for backup.

Once the backup process is completed, the NBU client executes the
bpend_notify.

script to perform Virtual Copy cleanup.
