NSR-ORA and NetApp

Backup

If the level is set to a value between 1 and 9 then NSR-ORA simply creates

a snapshot.

Save Set:

When the save set NDMP is used the current state of the database will be backed up.

With the save set specified NSR-ORA performs an offline backup of the database. Normally, this means that NSR-ORA shuts down the database before starting a backup and starts it again when the backup process has completed.

i

At the end of a backup process (regardless of whether there has only been a snapshot created or additionally a tape backup) NSR-ORA will additionally store the following information on tape media:

For online backups: the binary control file

/nsr/oracle/<ORACLE_SID>/tmp/cntl_<ORACLE_SID>_bin

The control file as an ASCII trace file

/nsr/oracle/<ORACLE_SID>/tmp/cntl_<ORACLE_SID>_trace

The init file /nsr/oracle/<ORACLE_SID>/tmp/init<ORACLE_SID>.ora

The information and log files of the current backup process in the

The information and log files of the current backup process in the directory /nsr/oracle/<ORACLE_SID>/prot.

These files may be used for debugging or a manually controlled recovery.

6.5.2The savegrp completion notification

The savegrp completion notification contains all error messages and warnings which occur while running a NDMP backup or creating a snapshot.

i

Some messages are not designed for a direct delivery (e.g. license missing or NetWorker configuration failure). In that case the savegrp completion notification contains the name of the log file to which the error message has been written.

Performing a NDMP backup the savegrp state meets exactly the real state of the backup process. If, for example, savegrp completion contains the message “succeeded” (all clients have been backed up successfully) then the complete backup of the Oracle database has been successfully. When an error occurs during the backup savegrp completion shows the “failed” message.
