4.9 Recovery Manager Configuration Files
The following section provides instructions on creating Recovery Manager configuration files.
There are two types of configuration files for Recovery Manager:
■ Recovery Manager without Remote Copy support.
For this type of configuration, Recovery Manager provides an integrated Veritas NetBackup
and Oracle RMAN for backups and restorations.
■ Recovery Manager with Remote Copy.
For this type of configuration, Recovery Manager does not provide tools for media backups
and restorations.
You can choose to create the Recovery Manager configuration file by either using the
Command Line Interface (CLI), menu-driven application, or a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
NOTE: Oracle 11g R2 requires that an RMAN snapshot controlfile location must
be on shared storage for a Real Application Cluster (RAC) database. The location
of an RMAN snapshot controlfile should be changed prior to registering the
database. To change the location of an RMAN snapshot controlfile location:
$ rman target / catalog <rman_user>/<rman_password>@<catdb>
RMAN> configure snapshot controlfile name to '<shared_storage_location>/
<cluster_name>/<snapshot_controlfile_name>'
For example:
RMAN> configure snapshot controlfile name to '+GRIDDG/cluster_11gr2/
snapcf_db11g.f'
NOTE: New features are no longer being added to the menu-driven application.
