HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring 5.0 application notes - High availability for Oracle 11g (T2558-88090, April 2008)

4. Install Storage Mirroring on the target using the installation defaults. See the Storage

Mirroring Getting Started guide for details.

Configure and begin mirroring and replication

1. In the Management Console, log in to your source machine.

2. Right-click your source machine and select New, Replication Set. Give the replication

set a unique name.

3. In the tree under the replication set name, select the Oracle data you wish to protect.

The following table will help you verify that you have selected all pertinent Oracle

files necessary to enable high availability on your target machine.

• File Name—This column lists each file name you need to select for replication.

These files are assigned names during your initial Oracle installation and

configuration causing some of these files to be unique to your environment. For

example, if you used the default Oracle installation, your instance parameter file

will be init.ora and located in the Drive letter:\app\

<username>\admin\<instance_name>\pfile folder in the destination

drive. If you supplied an instance name of prod, your init.ora file will be located

in the Drive letter:\app\<username>\admin\prod\pfile folder by

default. Files with unique names will be identified in the table with a wildcard

asterisk (*).

Additionally, some of the files are identified with a number sign (#) placeholder

in the file name. This placeholder identifies redundant files and/or multiple files

which may exist because of tablespace configurations. For example, you may

have control01.dbf, control02.dbf, undotbs01.dbf, and

undotbs02.dbf.

• File Description—This column gives a brief description of each file.

• Default Location and Table to Query—The Default Location column identifies the

directory where a specific file is stored if you choose the default installation

directory. If you did not use the default directory and do not know the location of

a specific file, query the table identified in the Table to Query column to

determine the location. For detailed information on querying tables, see your

Oracle reference guide. If you do not know the location of files that are not

associated with a table, locate those files using the Windows Find feature.
