HP Application Recovery Manager software Integration guide (March 2008)

Depending on the location of the Oracle control file, online redo log files, and SPFILE,
the following two options are possible:
• Oracle control file, online redo log files, and SPFILE reside on a different volume
group (if LVM is used) or source volume than Oracle datafiles.
By default, instant recovery is enabled if this option is selected in the GUI.
• Oracle control file, online redo log files, and SPFILE reside on the same volume
group (if LVM is used) or source volume as Oracle datafiles.
By default, instant recovery is not enabled, even if this option is selected in the
GUI. You can enable instant recovery by setting the ZDB_ORA_INCLUDE_CF_OLF,
ZDB_ORA_INCLUDE_SPF, and ZDB_ORA_NO_CHECKCONF_IR omnirc variables
to 1. See “ZDB integrations omnirc variables” on page 197.
IMPORTANT:
If you enable instant recovery by setting the above mentioned variables, note
that the control file, SPFILE, and online redo logs are overwritten during instant
recovery.
Figure 19 on page 90 shows the architecture of the Application Recovery Manager
Oracle integration. The figure illustrates the configuration, in which the backup of
an Oracle database can be performed on the backup system using third–party backup
software. It presents the default integration behavior, where Oracle control file, online
redo log files, and SPFILE reside on different disk array source volumes than the
Oracle data files. For more information on alternative Oracle backup and restore
concepts, see “ZDB integrations omnirc variables” on page 197.
