Tuning, Troubleshooting, Security, and Maintenance

System Maintenance

Run all of the restore scripts found in the directory;

$OV_CONF/ovbackup/restore/operational/

including

ito_restore.sh

and

nnm_restore.ovpl

. The

ito_restore.sh

script restores the Oracle database asking you to choose between the
following restore options:

a. to the state of the last backup?

b. to the most recent state? - a rollforward is done based on the

off-line redo logs from the backup and the off-line redo logs on the
system.

3. Restore analytical data (if the

-analytical

option or no option at all

is specified):

Run all of the restore scripts found in the directory;

$OV_CONF/ovbackup/restore/analytical/

including

nnm_restore.ovpl

.

NOTE

ovrestore.ovpl

stores progress information in the same file as

ovbackup.ovpl

, namely:

/var/opt/OV/tmp/ovbackup.log

The

ito_restore.sh

script which is integrated in the

ovrestore.ovpl

script allows you to restore the complete Oracle

database either to the state of the backup or to the most recent state (a
rollforward is done based on the off-line, redo logs). However, using
Oracle’s archive-log mode offers more possibilities. For example:

• you can retrieve single, corrupt data files from the backup and

recover them with off-line redo logs.

• with a backup and off-line redo logs, you can recover data up to a

specified point in time.

Recovery Scenarios after an Automated Backup

The automated backup scripts backup only configuration data and
dynamic data. Consequently, if binaries or static configuration files are
lost, they have to be recovered (before the restore) in one of the following
ways:

• Re-install ITO. If SD (Software Distributor) thinks ITO is already

installed, you may need to use the option

Reinstall Fileset

even

if the same revision already exists.
