Command
Recovery Manager for Oracle User’s Guide
Recovery Manager saves an ACII control file and a binary control file for each created virtual
copy in its repository. After a rollback, you may need to restore the control file in order to
perform database 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 the 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 SID of the primary database. For an RAC database, any
instance SID 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.
■ -t <timestamp> - The timestamp of a virtual copy form which to promote. The virtual
copy name can be obtained using the vcdba_display command.
■ -o [data|arch]
◆ data - Promotes only the virtual copy’s datafile volumes back to their base virtual
volumes.
◆ arch - Promotes only the virtual copy’s archive log volumes back to their base virtual
volumes.
■ -v - Runs the command in verbose mode to display useful messages.
■ -w - Promotes the read-write virtual copy instead of the read-only virtual copy back to its
base. The default is to promote the read-only virtual copy.
■ - f - Forces the promote operation to proceed even if the parent base volumes are
currently in a Remote Copy group, as long as the Remote Copy group has not been started.
If started, the promote will fail.
