8.3 Database Volumes Under Veritas VxVM Control
If any of the database volumes are under Veritas VxVM control, perform the following
procedures.
8.3.1 Rollback with Read-Write Virtual Copies
1 On both the backup host and the primary host:
a Shutdown both databases. For the cloned database on the backup host, you should
perform log switches to make sure all online redo logs are switched to archive log files
and that they are physically on the disk before you shutdown the cloned database. Or
you can FTP over all online redo log files to the primary host, which can be used when
performing database recovery.
b Manually unmount all file systems used by both databases. Do not use the
vcdba_umount utility in this step, which not only unmounts the file systems, but also
removes the read-write virtual copy from the InServ Storage Server. If ASM is being
used, unmount all involved ASM disk groups.
c Deport the VxVM disk groups (used by datafiles and archive log destination).
Example:
On the backup host:
On the primary host:
Disk groups with trailing timestamps are created by Recovery Manager when performing a
database backup. They can be found in the virtual copy repository.
2 On the InServ Storage Server, remove the VLUNs used by datafiles and archive log
destination by issuing the
removevlun <vvname> <lun> <host> command.
