3Com NSR-ORA V3.2 manual Ndmpoffline client has to be assigned to, Ndmp attribute

NSR-ORA and NetApp Configuring NSR-ORA

If the save set NDMP is backed up, NSR-ORA saves the database in the current state (online or offline). This corresponds to save set ${ORACLE_SID}_full_save).

Save set NDMP_OFFLINE causes NSR-ORA always to switch the database offline, before it is saved. After the backup NSR-ORA restarts the database, if it has been online during the start of the backup. Otherwise the database stays offline.

If OFFLINE backup has been selected during configure_nsrora, you may select any daily backup as OFFLINE backup. To achieve this it is necessary to modify the configuration as follows:

Example:

To perform an OFFLINE backup on Sunday, the parameters should be set as follows:

–While configuring the NDMP client select the

NDMP_without_sunday schedule instead of the daily schedule. Using this schedule there will be a full level backup every day except Sunday. Additional the sunday schedule has to be created and assigned to the NDMP_OFFLINE client.

–The NDMP_OFFLINE client has to be assigned to the

<ORACLE_SID>_NDMP group.

If an OFFLINE backup was not selected during configure_nsrora NetWorker assigns the daily schedule to the NDMP client and the client with save set NDMP_OFFLINE is assigned to the <ORACLE_SID>_NDMP_OFFLINE group. Nevertheless, this group is not set to enabled.

●NDMP attribute

All NetWorker clients that perform database backups (save set NDMP...) must not modify this value (i.e. leave this attribute set to “No”!).

●Groups attribute

To perform snapshot and tape backups on a given save set, the client’s membership to the relevant groups must be assigned to this attribute. The number of groups depends on your own requirements.

●Schedule attribute

As the type of snapshot backup is determined by the Level group attribute the “daily” schedule can be used (one level “full” backup every day) for tape backups.
