HP 3PAR Recovery Manager 4.5.0 for Oracle on Solaris, Red Hat Linux, and Oracle Enterprise Linux User's Guide (QL226-97705, May 2014)

6. Configure the Oracle listener for the Recovery Catalog database by adding an entry in the
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora file on the host where the Recover
Catalog is created as follows:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = <catdb>)
(ORACLE_HOME = <oracle_home>)
(SID_NAME = <catdb>)
)
)
7. Log in as the Oracle owner user and register the database on the database server.
NOTE: If Recovery Manager for Oracle is used to run against an Oracle standby database,
you must register the primary database on the primary database server instead of the standby
database.
$ rman target / catalog <rman_user>/<rman_password>@<catdb>
RMAN> register database;
Setting Up NetBackup Policies for NBU (User-Managed) Backup
Recovery Manager for Oracle supports NetBackup (NBU) with or without RMAN. The following
sections describe how to set up NBU policies for NBU backup without RMAN.
Recovery Manager for Oracle supports full, incremental, or cumulative incremental archive log
backup (backup only archive logs). When performing NBU backup without RMAN, Recovery
Manager supports only full database backup (incremental database backup is not possible).
However, you can combine full database backup with archive log backup to simulate incremental
database backup.
Recovery Manager for Oracle requires that you create an NBU policy for database backup. If you
wish to perform archive log backup, you must create a separate NBU policy for it.
NOTE: This section is intended for the users who are familiar with the Oracle Database and
Symantec NetBackup (NBU). For more information on creating a NetBackup policy, refer to
Symantec NetBackup documentation.
Configuring the NetBackup Policy for Database Backup
For Recovery Manager for Oracle to perform backup and restoration correctly, you must use the
following guidelines in conjunction with Symantec NetBackup documentation when configuring a
NBU policy:
Backup Attribute 1. Select the standard type for the policy.
2. Select the cross mount points option.
3. Deselect the Allow multiple data stream and Block level incremental options.
Backup
Selections
1. It is recommended that you enter /dummy for the backup selections.
2. Recovery Manager generates the backup selection list on the fly to replace the value you entered.
