Preface What is New in Release 3.2
1.3 What is New in Release 3.2
With release V3.2 a number of changes have been made to NSR-ORA, influen-
cing this guide:
●NSR-ORA V3.2 does now support Oracle 8.x or 9i
●Version 9 of the Oracle database does not include the SVRMGRL command
any more. So NSR-ORA now uses the command stored in the SQLDBA vari-
able to communicate with the database. However, functionality of NSR-ORA
has not been changed.
●NSR-ORA V3.2 now supports the backup on Network Attached Storage
filers (NAS filers) by NetworkAppliance® (NetApp). Furthermore NetWorker
supports backups performed directly onto a NetApp filer by using snapshots
(for further information see chapter “Using NSR-ORA with NetApp Filers”).
●The configure_nsrora configuration skript provides some new parameters,
described in section “Configuration” .
●The NetWorker V6.0 software provided by Fujitsu Siemens Computers now
comes with two new algorithms for compression. Using these new compres-
sion modes causes in part a considerable improvement of compression
rates and simultaneously reduces CPU load. This feature is only supported
bei Fujitsu Siemens Computers NetWorker for Solaris and LINUX.
1.4 Update from Previous Releases
If you want to update NSR-ORA from a previous release you will find the nec-
essary information in section “How to Proceed for an Update from an Earlier
