HP 3PAR Recovery Manager 4.5.0 for Oracle on Solaris, Red Hat Linux, and Oracle Enterprise Linux User's Guide (QL226-97705, May 2014)

For NBU (user-managed) backup, Recovery Manager for Oracle:
• Generates an include list file that contains a list of datafiles and/or archive log destination
on the mounted Virtual Copy and stores it in the
/usr/openv/netbackup/include_list.<policy_name> file on the NBU client (the
backup server).
• Calls the bpbackup command from the NBU master server to backup files listed in the include
list.
For Oracle RMAN with HP Data Protector, Recovery Manager for Oracle:
• Starts up a clone database in mounted mode using the mounted Virtual Copy on the Recovery
Manager for Oracle backup server
• Calls HP Data Protector CLI (omnib) to initiate a backup of the clone database.
• Removes the cloned database.
• Unmounts the Virtual Copy.
For Oracle RMAN and Oracle RMAN with Symantec NetBackup, Recovery Manager for Oracle:
• Starts up a clone database in mounted mode using the mounted Virtual Copy on the Recovery
Manager for Oracle backup server.
• Calls an RMAN backup script (rmora_rman_dbbackup.sh or
rmora_rman_archbackup.sh) to backup the cloned database.
• Removes the cloned database.
• Unmounts the Virtual Copy.
NOTE: The RMAN backup scripts (rmora_rman_dbbackup.sh and
rmora_rman_archbackup.sh) are generated at
/etc/3par/solutions/<db_server>.ora.<oracle_sid> during the creation of the
Recovery Manager Configuration file.
Server-side Backup
NOTE: NBU server-side backup can be used when Recovery Manager for Oracle is configured
to run as either a root user or an Oracle owner.
NOTE: If Recovery Manager for Oracle is configured to be run as an Oracle user and this is an
upgrade from previous Recovery Manager release, the rmora_config command must be run
again for each database that is configured for server-side backup.
During server-side backup, Symantec NetBackup or HP Data Protector initiates a backup process
on the Symantec NetBackup or HP Data Protector client (the backup server).
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 server, 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.
