System Configuration
Recovery Manager for Oracle User’s Guide
■ Either one or two Remote Copy group(s) must be created, which contain all virtual volumes
used by datafiles and archive log destinations. The one group option requires that datafiles
and archive log destinations are in the same group. The two group option rqeuires that the
archive log destination(s) is in a different group from datafiles.
■ Recovery Manager only supports the mirror_config policy (default) for the involved
Remote Copy target.
■ Recovery Manager only supports periodic synchronization and requires the period value set
to zero for the involved Remote Copy group.
■ If volume manager is being used, all volumes that are in the same disk group as the
datafiles or archive log destinations must be admitted to the Remote Copy group.
■ If ASM is being used, all volumes that are in the same ASM disk group as the datafiles or
archive log destinations must be admitted to the Remote Copy group.
■ Remote copy group must be started and in synchronized status.
■ Refer to the 3PAR Remote Copy User’s Guide to set Remote Copy targets, links, and groups.
After the above has been set up, a Recovery Manager configuration file must be created. There
are three ways to create a configuration file.
On the backup host:
X Run /opt/3par/vcdbaora/bin/vcdbagui to start the Recovery Manager Graphical
User Interface (GUI).
or
X Run /opt/3par/vcdbaora/bin/vcdba_main to start the Recovery Manager menu-
driven utility.
or
X Run /opt/3par/vcdbaora/bin/vcdba_config to start the Command Line Interface
(CLI).
Refer to the 4.9 Recovery Manager Configuration Files on page 4.27 to setup the configuration
file for Remote Copy.
