COMMAND
vcdba_rsync
SYNOPSIS
vcdba_rsync -s <oracle_sid> -p <primary_host>
[-o online|offline|checkonly] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
The vcdba_rsync command performs a periodic synchronization for database virtual
volumes. During synchronization, changed data from the virtual volumes on the primary/local
InServ Storage Server is pushed over to the corresponding remote virtual volumes on the
secondary/remote InServ Storage Server.
Once the synchronization process completes, the
vcdba_rsync command automatically
creates virtual copies of the corresponding virtual volumes on the secondary/remote InServ
Storage Server and presents itself to the user as one database virtual copy.
The
vcdba_rsync command can be used to perform periodic synchronization for datafile and
archive log virtual volumes, or datafile virtual volumes.
In the previous release, 3PAR Recovery Manager required that two Remote Copy groups had to
be created. One contained all data file volumes and one contained archive log volumes. In the
current release, 3PAR also supports one Remote Copy group, which contains both datafile
volumes and archive log volumes.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
■ -s <oracle_sid> - The instance SID of the primary database. For an RAC database, any
instance SID can be specified.
■ -p <primary_host> - The corresponding host name of the primary host where the
specified Oracle database instance is running. The value of the primary host name must
match the output of the
hostname command.
■ -o online - Performs periodic synchronization for datafile and archive log virtual volumes
while the database is OPEN.
■ -o hotbkup - This option is the same as the -o online and is deprecated. This option
will be removed in a future release.
