HP 3PAR Application Software Suite for Oracle Licenses - Manual (Page 65)

-s
The Oracle SID of the database instance. For Real Application Cluster (RAC) database, an Oracle
SID of any RAC instance can be specified.
-p
The corresponding host name of the database server where the specified Oracle database instance
is running. The value of the database server name must match the output of the hostname
command.
-o online
Creates a Virtual Copy for datafile and archive log virtual volumes while the database is online.
This is the default option.
-o offline
Creates a Virtual Copy of datafile virtual volumes while the database is offline.
-o datafile
Creates a Virtual Copy of datafile virtual volumes while the database is online.
-o archlog
Creates a Virtual Copy of archive log virtual volumes while the database is online.
-v
Runs the command in verbose mode.
-f
Force to create a database Virtual Copy with a retention time. If retention time is specified either
through the Recovery Manager for Oracle configuration file or through the -r option. This option
must be specified.
-e {d|D|h|H}
Specifies the relative time from the current time that volume will expire. is a positive integer
value and in the range of 1 to 43,800 hours (1825 days). d|D means days. h|H means hours.
A value of 0 indicates the Virtual Copy does not have an expiration period. If the -r option is
used, the expiration time must be equal to or longer than the retention time.
-r {d|D|h|H}
Specifies the amount of time, relative to the current time, that the Virtual Copy will be retained. If
the -r option is not specified, the retention time of the Virtual Copy defaults to the value set in the
configuration file. is a positive integer value and in the range of 0 to 43800 hours (1825
days). d|D means days. h|H means hours. A value of 0 indicates the Virtual Copy does not have
a retention period.
NOTE: If the database volumes do not belong to any domain, then the retention time of the
read-only Virtual Copy cannot exceed the VVRetentionTimeMax value of the system. The
VVRetentionTimeMax
default value for the system is 14 days. If the database volumes belong
to a domain, then the retention time of the read-only Virtual Copy cannot exceed the
VVRetentionTimeMax
value of the domain, if set. The retention time cannot be removed or
reduced once it is set. The retention time can be extended by rmora_set command.
This option requires the HP 3PAR Virtual Lock Software license.
NOTE: HP 3PAR Operating System Software CLI command showsys -param and showdomain
-d can be used to check the value of VVRetentionTimeMax for value system and domain
respectively.
For online backup, because the Virtual Copy for datafile volumes and the Virtual Copy for archive
log destinations are taken at different times, their retention time are slightly different.
