System Administrator’s Guide U42252-J-Z915-1-76
NSR-ORA and NetApp Prerequisites
●The administrator may perform an offline backup within a few minutes. This
is done by making NSR-ORA shut down the database automatically and
restarting it after the backup process is completed (i. e. after the snapshot is
created).
●Depending on the backup cycle you may reduce the number of tape media
units required may be reduced (having additional snapshot backups means
that less backups on tape media are required).
6.2 Prerequisites
To run NSR-ORA with NDMP support you have to meet the following system
requirements:
●Solaris 7 or higher
●NetWorker 6.x
●NetApp:
– Operating System OnTap 6.x
– Snap-Restore license
●Oracle 8.x or 9i
●NetWorker is licensed for usage with NDMP
●The NetApp Filer is equipped with a local volume, or Three Party Copy (with
NetWorker V6.1 or higher) is installed (NDMP volume).
The database computer must support NDMP backups and satisfy the following
requirements:
●One NDMP-Client
To perform a test backup, the volume /vol/vol0 of the NetAppFilers is
recommended (see “Defining the NDMP Client”).
●One NetApp volume
When the test backup has successfully completed you can start configuring
NSR-ORA using the command scripts configure_nsrora and configure_networker.
