Integrating Oracle and Data Protector

 

Restoring an Oracle Database

Example

Suppose you have Oracle objects backed up on a device called DAT1. To

 

restore them from a device named DAT2, specify the following in the

 

restoredev file:

 

"DAT1" "DAT2"

 

Disaster Recovery

 

Disaster recovery is a very complex process that involves products from

 

several vendors. As such, successful disaster recovery depends on all the

 

vendors involved. The information provided here is intended to be used

 

as a guideline.

 

Check the instructions from the database/application vendor on how to

 

prepare for a disaster recovery. Also see the HP OpenView Storage Data

 

Protector Disaster Recovery Guide for instructions on how to approach

 

system disaster recovery using Data Protector.

 

This is a general procedure for recovering an application:

 

1. Complete the recovery of the operating system.

 

2. Install, configure, and initialize the database/application so that data

 

on the Data Protector media can be loaded back to the system.

 

Consult the documentation from the database/application vendor for

 

a detailed procedure and the steps needed to prepare the database.

 

3. Ensure that the database/application server has the required Data

 

Protector client software installed and is configured for the

 

database/application. Follow the procedures in this chapter and in the

 

section. See also the section of this manual about the Data Protector

 

Restore GUI for Oracle for information about using this to restore

 

database items, “Restoring Oracle Using the Data Protector GUI” on

 

page 72.

 

4. Start the restore. When the restore is complete, follow the

 

instructions from the database/application vendor for any additional

 

steps required to bring the database back online.
