HP Application Recovery Manager software Integration guide (March 2008)

Handling errors
If an error occurs, the error number is displayed in the form
*RETVAL*error_number.
To get the error description:
Windows: On the Cell Manager:AppRM_home\bin\omnigetmsg 12
error_number
UNIX: Run:
/opt/omni/lbin/omnigetmsg 12 error_number
IMPORTANT:
On UNIX, it is possible that although you receive a *RETVAL*0, the backup still fails.
This can happen if the backup owner is not the Oracle user root or the Oracle user
that is identified as described in “Configuring Oracle users on UNIX” on page 96.
Checking configuration for instant recovery
Check if the Oracle configuration is suitable for instant recovery.
On the application system, from the directory:
Windows: AppRM_home\bin
UNIX: /opt/omni/lbin
run:
Windows:
perl -I..\lib\perl util_oracle8.pl -CHKCONF_IR -dbname DB_NAME
UNIX:
util_oracle8.pl -CHKCONF_IR -dbname DB_NAME
If the control files, SPFILE, and redo logs are on the same volume group (if LVM is
used) or source volume as datafiles, a warning is displayed stating that instant
recovery is not possible. You can either:
• Reconfigure the Oracle database instance. See
“Reconfiguring an Oracle instance for instant recovery” on page 193 on how to
move the control files and redo logs to source volumes that are not replicated.
