Recovery Manager for Oracle User’s Guide
4.8.2 Configuring the NetBackup Policy for Archive Log Backup
Perform this step only if you wish to backup only archive logs. For Recovery Manager to
perform backup and restoration correctly, you must use the following guidelines in
conjunction with Veritas NetBackup documentation when configuring a NBU policy:
4.8.3 Creating an RMAN Recovery Catalog
This section describes how to create and configure an RMAN Recovery Catalog. Refer to Oracle
documentation for more detailed information.
1 Create a database for housing the Recovery Catalog. Oracle suggests the following disk
space requirements:
◆ System tablespace: 100 MB
◆ Temp tablespace: 5 MB
◆ Rollback segment: 5 MB
◆ Online redo log: 1 MB (each)
◆ Recovery Catalog: 10 MB
Backup Attribute Select the Oracle type for the policy.
Backup Selections 1 Enter the location of RMAN backup script (/etc/3par/solutions/
<primary_host>.ora.<oracle_sid>/
vcdba_nbu_archbackup.sh
).
2 Recovery Manager will generate the RMAN backup script at the specified
location when you create the configuration file (see 4.9 Recovery
Manager Configuration Files on page 4.27 below for details).
Backup Schedule 1 Create a schedule for full backup.
2 If you wish to perform immediate archive log backup (initiated from
Recovery Manager), set the backup window to 0.
3 If you also wish to perform automatic archive log backup (initiated from
NBU), specify the backup window to fit your needs.
Backup Clients Set the backup client to the host name of the backup host, as the backup
process will actually take place on the backup host.
