7.6.4 Mounting a Virtual Copy
After a virtual copy is created, it can be mounted on the backup host where the Recovery
Manager GUI is running.
To mount a virtual copy, perform the following procedure:
1 Right-click the virtual copy you wish to mount.
2 Click Mount.
A screen appears showing the virtual copy name, and creation time. You are prompted for
the mount point where you want the virtual copy being mounted on the backup host. The
default mount point is:
/etc/3par/solutions/<primary_host>.ora.<oracle_sid>/<timestamp>
3 Click Finish.
Recovery Manager begins mounting all the file systems for you. When the mounting of the
file systems is complete, a screen displays the successful message.
4 Click OK.
In the Virtual Volume State column, Mounted should be displayed indicating that the
virtual copies are mounted on the backup host. The mount point is also displayed indicating
the location of the mounted file systems.
After a virtual copy is in the Mounted state, a database instance can be created on the backup
host by cloning the database (see 7.6.12 Cloning a Database on page 7.9).
7.6.5 Unmounting a Virtual Copy
After a virtual copy is in the Mounted state, an unmount operation can be executed.
To unmount a virtual copy:
1 Right-click the virtual copy you wish to unmount.
2 Click Unmount.
3 Click Finish.
A successful message shows on screen after it is finished.
4 Click OK.
The Virtual Volume State column for this virtual copy changes to Available.
