Recovery Manager for Oracle User’s Guide

NOTE: The bpstart_notify and bpend_notify scripts are generated at / usr/openv/netbackup/bin during the creation of the Recovery Manager Configuration file. By default, the bpstart_notify script (for database backup policy) will perform an online backup. If an offline or datafile backup is desired, edit this file to set the value of BACKUP_MODE to 'offline' or 'datafile' respectively. In addition, the database must be manually shutdown for offline backup.

For an Oracle RMAN backup:

■The NBU client executes the backup script vcdba_nbu_dbbackup.sh or

vcdba_nbu_archbackup.sh, which must be specified in the Backup Selection List of the NBU policy.

■The backup script creates a virtual copy of the database or archive log destination, mounts it on the backup host, starts up a cloned database in MOUNTED mode, then calls the RMAN backup scripts (vcdba_rman_dbbackup.sh or vcdba_rman_archbackup.sh) to backup the cloned database.

NOTE: The backup scripts (vcdba_nbu_dbbackup.sh and

vcdba_nbu_archbackup.sh) and the RMAN backup scripts

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

Manager Configuration file. By default, the vcdba_nbu_dbbackup.sh script (for database backup policy) will perform an online backup. If an offline or datafile backup is desired, edit this file to set the value of BACKUP_MODE to 'offline' or 'datafile' respectively. In addition, the database must be manually put in MOUNTED mode for offline backup.

NOTE: To perform automatic backup, RSH or SSH must have been configured for root user as Veritas NetBackup always initiates a backup as root user.

If the virtual copy is to be backed up using Oracle RMAN, a Recovery Catalog must have been created and configured prior to using the backup utility.
