Recovery Manager for Oracle Configuration Files
For each database to be managed by Recovery Manager for Oracle, a configuration file must be
created first. There are two types of configuration files for Recovery Manager for Oracle:
• Recovery Manager for Oracle without Remote Copy support.
For this type of configuration, Recovery Manager for Oracle provides an integrated Symantec
NetBackup, HP Data Protector, and Oracle RMAN for backups and restorations.
• Recovery Manager for Oracle with Remote Copy.
For this type of configuration, Recovery Manager for Oracle does not provide tools for media
backups and restorations.
NOTE: Before you create a database configuration:
• Verify that the required SSH setup was successfully completed.
• Ensure the primary database instance is up.
Creating a Recovery Manager for Oracle Configuration File without Remote Copy
You can create the Recovery Manager for Oracle configuration file using:
• Command Line Interface (CLI)
• Graphical User Interface (GUI)
Creating Configuration Files Using the Command Line Interface on the Backup Server
To create a Recovery Manager for Oracle configuration file without Remote Copy support:
1. From the backup server, enter /opt/3PAR/RMOra/bin/rmora_config.
2. When prompted, press ENTER.
• ORACLE_SID of the database instance [h=help,q=quit]?
Enter ORACLE_SID of the database instance that you want to configure. If the database is an
RAC database, enter ORACLE_SID of any RAC instance.
• Hostname of the database server [h=help,q=quit]?
Enter the host name of the corresponding database server where the specified database
instance is running.
• Oracle Home of the database instance on the database server
[h=help,q=quit]?
Recovery Manager for Oracle provides a default value for the Oracle Home of the specified
database instance if it can be retrieved from the oratab file.
Press ENTER to accept default value or enter the ORACLE_HOME location of the specified
database instance.
• Oracle Home of database instance on the backup server
[h=help,s=skip,q=quit]?
Recovery Manager for Oracle assumes that the ORACLE_HOME on the backup server is the
same as the ORACLE_HOME on the database server. This ORACLE_HOME is needed to
create a clone database or to perform RMAN backup on the backup server. If you do not
intend to use these capabilities, skip it by entering s.
NOTE: RMAN backup requires the cloned database in mounted status. Therefore,
ORACLE_HOME must be installed on the backup server.
Press ENTER to accept default value or enter the ORACLE_HOME location on the backup
server.
