■ If archive log mode is enabled, the data files and archive logs must reside on separate 3PAR
virtual volumes.
■ The online redo logs and control files should not reside on the same 3PAR virtual volumes
used by the data files and archive logs to avoid being restored when using Recovery
Manager Rollback feature. However, the online redo logs and control files can share the
same 3PAR virtual volumes.
■ If the database files reside on Veritas VxVM volumes, the datafiles and archive logs must
reside on separate VxVM disk groups. The online redo logs and control files should reside
on separate VxVM volumes used by the datafiles and archive logs.
■ If the Oracle database is an ASM-managed database, the data files and archive logs must
reside on separate ASM disk groups. The online redo logs and control files should not
reside on the same ASM disk groups used by the datafiles and archive logs to avoid being
restored when using the Recovery Manager Rollback feature. In addition, ASM disk groups
should not be shared between different databases.
■ If the Oracle database is an RAC database, all RAC instances must share the same archive
log destinations (i.e., the same cluster file system or the same ASM disk groups).
■ If the database files are symbolic links pointing to actual files and the links do not reside on
the same file systems as the actual files, only the actual files are backed up. Otherwise, only
the first links and the actual files are backed up; intermediate links will not be backed up.
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.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
■ -s <oracle_sid> - The instance ID of the primary database. For an RAC database, any
instance ID can be specified.
■ -p <primary_host> - The corresponding host name of the primary host where the
specified Oracle database instance is running. The value of the primary host name must
match the output of the
hostname command.
■ -o online - Creates an online virtual copy of an Oracle database while it is OPEN (online).
The specified Oracle database instance must be OPEN. If the database is an RAC database,
other database instances can be either OPEN or CLOSED. All tablespaces (or database) will
