Command
Recovery Manager for Oracle User’s Guide
■ If the database is an ASM managed database, all ASM disk groups must be mounted prior
to running this command.
■ For NBU (user-managed) restore, a file named /usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames/
<database_hostname>
must be created on the NBU master server in order to perform
restoration to a host (including the primary host) that differs from the backup host.
<database_hostname> is the host name of the database server to restore.
Depending on the type of the virtual copy backup image (online, offline, datafile, or archonly),
corresponding database files are restored appropriately.
For NBU (user-managed) restore:
■ Control files are not restored by default.
■ For an online virtual copy, both data files and archive logs are restored unless individual
tablespaces or data files are specified. In this case, only the corresponding data files are
restored.
■ For an offline virtual copy, only data files are restored.
■ For a datafile only virtual copy, only data files are restored.
■ For an archive log virtual copy, only archive logs are restored.
For Oracle RMAN restore:
■ Control files are not restored by default.
■ For an online virtual copy, only data files are restored. Archive logs are not restored to
minimize restoration time. Oracle RMAN can restore necessary archive logs during recovery
(refer to Oracle documentation for details on how to use Oracle RMAN for recovery).
■ For an offline virtual copy, only data files are restored.
■ For a datafile-only virtual copy, only data files are restored.
■ For an archive log virtual copy, archive log restoration is not supported as Oracle RMAN can
restore necessary archive logs during recovery (refer to Oracle documentation for details on
how to use Oracle RMAN for recovery).
You must run this command as a super user from the backup host. To allow the Oracle
Database Administrator (Oracle Owner) to run this command, an identical Oracle Database
Administrator user must exist on backup host. In addition, permission on the 3PAR Recovery
Manager Installation and Repository directories must be changed appropriately.
