Installation and Configuration

NSR-ORA in OPS clusters

...

Please also refer to the descriptions in the sections “Configuring NSR-ORA”und “Configuring NetWorker”.

All OPS nodes have to be entered as clients on the OPS node on which NSR-ORA is being configured. The clients do not have to belong to any group, they just need to have been configured.

The archiving monitor (amon) has to be present on each OPS node. Use the tool configure_nsrora for the configuration, however, the parameters applying to tablespace backup are irrelevant here. It is best to configure the monitors manually in NetWorker. Do not forget to start the monitors using the following command:

/opt/nsr/oracle/bin/start_amon.sh

(on HP-UX: /opt/networker/oracle/bin/start_amon.sh).

If the tablespaces are to be backed up for several NetWorker servers using the file backup_TS_on_different_clients there has to be a save group (and also a pool) on each of the NetWorker servers. The name of the save group has to be identical in all of the pools (the default name is OPS_TS_BACKUP).

The OPS_INSTANCES variable contains the names of all the OPS instances that were active when the configure_nsrora command was called. If further instances are added later the variable definition in the dbo${ORACLE_SID}.init file has to be adjusted.

OPS does not support backups with the save set OFFLINE.

Different OPS instances are supported on the various OPS nodes with the environment variable OPS_DIFFERENT_SID_NAMES. This variable is not queried in the configure_nsrora script and may have to be set directly in the NSR-ORA configuration file dbo{$ORACLE_SID}.init.
