Recovery Manager for Oracle User’s Guide
■ Resynchronizes the Recovery Catalog to update with newly generated archive logs if the
virtual copy is to be backed up using Oracle RMAN.
■ Creates a virtual copy for the archive log destination virtual volumes.
2.6.3 The Virtual Copy Display Utility
3PAR Recovery Manager’s display utility (vcdba_display) displays database virtual copies
along with other information including creation time, type, status, and backup status.
A virtual copy's type can be either Online, Offline, Datafile, or Archlog.
■ An Online virtual copy indicates that the virtual copy for the database was created while it
was OPEN (online).
■ An Offline virtual copy indicates that the virtual copy for the database was created while it
was CLOSED (offline).
■ A Datafile virtual copy indicates that the virtual copy for the database was created while it
was OPEN (online) and contains only datafiles (no archive log destination).
■ An Archlog virtual copy indicates that the virtual copy was created for archive log
destination only.
A virtual copy's status can be either
Available, Removed, Mounted, Mounted(P), or
Database.
■ Available status indicates that the virtual copy exists and is not currently mounted or
cloned.
■ Removed status indicates that the virtual copy is removed.
■ Mounted status indicates that the virtual copy is currently mounted.
■ Mounted(P) status indicates that the virtual copy is partially mounted.
■ Database status indicates that a database has been cloned using the virtual copy.
A virtual copy's backup status can be either Y or N, where Y indicates that the virtual copy has
been backed up and
N indicates that the virtual copy has not been backed up.
NOTE: If the virtual copy is to be backed up using Oracle RMAN, a Recovery
Catalog must have been created and configured prior to running this utility. For
an RAC database, archive log destinations of all RAC instances must be on shared
storage (same cluster file systems or same ASM disk groups).
