For information about supported platforms, refer to the InForm OS Configuration Matrix (part number 320-200099) available from 3PAR’s Document Control System.

3.2 Preinstallation Requirements

Recovery Manager must be installed on a primary host and a backup host. The primary host must be running an Oracle10g or above database.

Database backups take place on the backup host that runs Recovery Manager.

Prior to the installation of Recovery Manager, make sure that the following preinstallation requirements are met:

■The same Oracle owner user and Oracle DBA group on the primary (database) server must exist on the backup host. The Oracle owner user ID and Oracle DBA group ID on the backup host must be the same as on the primary host.

■All Oracle data files and archive logs must reside on separate 3PAR virtual volumes.

■Online redo logs and control files can reside on the same virtual volume. However, redo logs and control files must not reside on virtual volumes on which data files and archive logs reside.

■If Veritas Volume Manager is used, the Oracle data files and archive logs must reside on separate VxVM disk groups. Additionally, online redo logs and control files must not reside on VxVM disk groups that are used by Oracle data files and archive logs. The online redo logs and control files can reside on the same VxVM disk group. The primary and backup host must have the same level of operating system patches, Veritas volume manager version, and maintenance patch.

■If ASM is used to manage an Oracle database, Oracle data files and archive logs must reside on different ASM disk groups. Additionally, online redo logs and control files must not reside on ASM disk groups used by Oracle data files and archive logs. The online redo logs and control files can reside on the same ASM disk group.
