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).

6.2Prerequisites

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

i

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.
