Recovery Manager for Oracle User’s Guide

■Calls the bpbackup command from the NBU master server to backup files listed in the include list.

For Oracle RMAN backup, Recovery Manager:

■Starts up a clone database in mounted mode using the mounted virtual copy on the backup host, assuming ORACLE_HOME is installed and configured in the Recovery Manager repository.

■Calls an RMAN backup script (vcdba_rman_dbbackup.sh or vcdba_rman_archbackup.sh) to backup the cloned database.

■Removes the cloned database.

■Un-mounts the virtual copy.

NOTE: The RMAN backup scripts (vcdba_rman_dbbackup.sh and

vcdba_rman_archbackup.sh) are generated at /etc/3par/solutions/ <primary_host>.ora.<oracle_sid> during the creation of the Recovery

Manager Configuration file.

2.10.1.2 Automatic Backup

During an automatic backup, NBU initiates a backup process on the NBU client (the backup host).

For an NBU (user-managed) backup:

■The NBU client executes the bpstart_notify.<policy_name> script.

■The bpstart_notify script creates a virtual copy of the database or archive log destination, mounts it on the backup host, then generates the include list in the /usr/ openv/netbackup/include_list.<policy_name> file, which contains a list of files on the virtual copy for backup.

■Once the backup process is completed, the NBU client executes the bpend_notify.<policy_name> script to perform virtual copy cleanup.
