Recovery Manager and Third-Party Backup Tools
Recovery Manager for Oracle User’s Guide
For an Oracle RMAN backup:
■
The NBU client executes the backup script
vcdba_nbu_dbbackup.sh
or
vcdba_nbu_archbackup.sh
, which must be specified in the Backup Selection List of the
NBU policy.
■
The backup script creates a virtual copy of the database or archive log destination, mounts
it on the backup host, starts up a cloned database in MOUNTED mode, then calls the RMAN
backup scripts (
vcdba_rman_dbbackup.sh
or
vcdba_rman_archbackup.sh
) to
backup the cloned database.
If the virtual copy is to be backed up using Oracle RMAN, a Recovery Catalog must have been
created and configured prior to using the backup utility.
NOTE: The
bpstart_notify
and
bpend_notify
scripts are generated at
/
usr/openv/netbackup/bin
during the creation of the Recovery Manager
Configuration file. By default, the
bpstart_notify
script (for database backup
policy) will perform an online backup. If an offline or datafile backup is desired,
edit this file to set the value of BACKUP_MODE to 'offline' or 'datafile'
respectively. In addition, the database must be manually shutdown for offline
backup.
NOTE: The backup scripts (
vcdba_nbu_dbbackup.sh
and
vcdba_nbu_archbackup.sh
) and the RMAN backup scripts
(
vcdba_rman_dbbackup.sh
and
vcdba_rman_archbackup.sh
) are
generated at
/etc/3par/solutions/
during the creation of the Recovery
Manager Configuration file. By default, the
vcdba_nbu_dbbackup.sh
script
(for database backup policy) will perform an online backup. If an offline or
datafile backup is desired, edit this file to set the value of BACKUP_MODE to
'offline' or 'datafile' respectively. In addition, the database must be manually put
in MOUNTED mode for offline backup.
NOTE: To perform automatic backup, RSH or SSH must have been configured for
root user as Veritas NetBackup always initiates a backup as root user.
