Saving and restoring files for an Oracle database
The following procedures explain how to back up and restore data files for a system that is using
an Oracle database with HP SIM. A user with Oracle database administrator (DBA) privileges must
perform the backup and restore.
Saving data files for use with Oracle
Use this procedure to save (back up) the Oracle database files.
Notes:
HP recommends stopping the HP SIM service to ensure that discovery and data processes do
not occur during the save. However, with two new commands, mxquiesce and
mxunquiesce, you can leave the HP SIM service running during the save. These commands
pause and resume the system; they do not perform backup.
The mxquiesce command can be used to allow in-progress, critical tasks to complete, and to
block new tasks from starting. When the system is quiesced, noncritical tasks are canceled. CLI
