of database's archive log destination, which is taken while the database is online (OPEN).

a virtual volume.
2.2 About the Recovery Manager Repository
Information about virtual copies, database structures, and backup images (if backed up via
Oracle RMAN and/or Veritas NetBackup) are stored in the 3PAR Recovery Manager repository
when a virtual copy is created, or when a backup operation is performed. The information in
the repository is used to manage virtual copies and to restore from a virtual copy backup
image.
Some other Oracle-related files such as parameter files, password files, ASM metadata, and
control files are also saved in the Recovery Manager repository, along with the backup image
information, for each virtual copy created.
The Recovery Manager repository is located in the following directory on the backup host:
where:
■
is the host name of the database host.
■
is the Oracle SID of the database instance.
The following example displays the location of the Recovery Manager repository on the
backup host for Oracle database instance

If the database is a Real Application Cluster (RAC) database, there will be multiple repositories,
one for each RAC instance.
