Configuring Oracle RMAN backups with HP Data Protector to use deduplication on the VLS

In the previous example, the script is located in the /home/oracle directory and is named ‘rman_script’,
however, you may specify any path and any file name as long as the file is readable by the oracle user.
To get the required data for the data file distribution, please see the
Get required information about
data files
sub-section.
To create the external script file, please see the Create the Contents of the external script file
sub-section with one small modification:
Do not include the opening and closing brackets ‘{‘ and ‘}’ in the script file, but only insert the
backup statement:
backup incremental level 0
(datafile 9,3,1 channel dev_0 filesperset 3 format 'oracle backup
specification<ORACL_%s:%t:%p:1>.df')
(datafile 2,4,10 channel dev_1 filesperset 3 format 'oracle backup
specification<ORACL_%s:%t:%p:10>.df')
(datafile 5,6 channel dev_2 filesperset 2 format 'oracle backup
specification<ORACL_%s:%t:%p:6>.df')
(datafile 8,7 channel dev_3 filesperset 2 format 'oracle backup
specification<ORACL_%s:%t:%p:7>.df');
After saving the text file the configuration is finished. Now you should have one rman script in the
Data Protector GUI and one external script file similar to the example below:
RMAN Script (Changes from default are marked red)
run {
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' TO '%F';
allocate channel 'dev_0' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=ORACL,OB2BARLIST=oracle backup
specification)';
allocate channel 'dev_1' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=ORACL,OB2BARLIST=oracle backup
specification)';
allocate channel 'dev_2' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=ORACL,OB2BARLIST=oracle backup
specification)';
allocate channel 'dev_3' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=ORACL,OB2BARLIST=oracle backup
specification)';
@/home/oracle/rman_script;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup
format 'oracle backup specification<ORACL_%s:%t:%p>.al'
archivelog all;
backup
format 'oracle backup specification<ORACL_%s:%t:%p>.dbf'
recovery area;
backup
format 'oracle backup specification<ORACL_%s:%t:%p:1>.cntrl'
current controlfile;
}
