Preinstallation Requirements
Recovery Manager for Oracle User’s Guide
■ If you are using Veritas® NetBackup
1
, it is recommended that you use the backup host as
the NetBackup master server. The Veritas NetBackup client must be installed on the primary
and backup hosts. If you are using Veritas NetBackup in conjunction with Oracle RMAN, the
NetBackup for Oracle client must be installed on the primary and backup hosts. Refer to
Veritas NetBackup for Oracle for installation and configuration instructions.
Additionally, you must create an Oracle RMAN Recovery Catalog and configure Oracle TNS
Service and Listener to allow connecting to the Recovery Catalog from both the primary
and backup hosts. The Recovery Catalog can be created on any host. 3PAR Recovery
Manager recommends that the Recovery Catalog is created on the backup host. Refer to
Oracle documentation for instructions on how to create a Recovery Catalog, as well as how
to configure Oracle TNS Service and Listener.
■ Virtual volume snapshots used by an Oracle database must be mapped to a Common
Provisioning Group (CPG). Refer to the 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual for
details about mapping to CPGs.
■ If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Recovery Manager, you need to uninstall
the earlier version of Recovery Manager first as a root user before installing the newer
version.
■ Refer to 3PAR Implementation Guides for instructions on setting up connections from hosts
to the InServ Storage Server and reserving LUNs with specific Host Bus Adapters (HBAs).
■ Recovery Manager’s Remote Copy feature only supports periodic synchronization with 1 to
1 topology. To use the Remote Copy feature, you must configure your InServ Storage
Servers for Remote Copy. The InServ Storage Servers must meet the requirements specified
in 9.2.1 Recovery Manager’s Remote Copy Requirements on page 9.3. For instructions on
configuring storage servers for Remote Copy, see the 3PAR Remote Copy User’s Guide.
■ (Solaris only) If a trusted host connection (RSH) is to be used, the InForm OS Command Line
Interface (CLI) must be installed to the /opt/3par/cli directory prior to installing Recovery
Manager.
■ If a secure shell (SSH) connection is to be used, see Chapter 4, Configuring Recovery
Manager.
