COMMAND

vcdba_rsync

SYNOPSIS

vcdba_rsync -s <oracle_sid> -p <primary_host> [-o onlineofflinecheckonly] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

The vcdba_rsync command performs a periodic synchronization for database virtual volumes. During synchronization, changed data from the virtual volumes on the primary/local InServ Storage Server is pushed over to the corresponding remote virtual volumes on the secondary/remote InServ Storage Server.

Once the synchronization process completes, the vcdba_rsync command automatically creates virtual copies of the corresponding virtual volumes on the secondary/remote InServ Storage Server and presents itself to the user as one database virtual copy.

The vcdba_rsync command can be used to perform periodic synchronization for datafile and archive log virtual volumes, or datafile virtual volumes.

In the previous release, 3PAR Recovery Manager required that two Remote Copy groups had to be created. One contained all data file volumes and one contained archive log volumes. In the current release, 3PAR also supports one Remote Copy group, which contains both datafile volumes and archive log volumes.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

■-s <oracle_sid> - The instance SID of the primary database. For an RAC database, any instance SID can be specified.

■-p <primary_host> - The corresponding host name of the primary host where the specified Oracle database instance is running. The value of the primary host name must match the output of the hostname command.

■-o online - Performs periodic synchronization for datafile and archive log virtual volumes while the database is OPEN.

■-o hotbkup - This option is the same as the -o online and is deprecated. This option will be removed in a future release.
