HP Data Protector Software A.06.00 Instant Recovery of Oracle databases using Automatic Storage Management (ASM) feature

Connect to the ASM instance on each inactive node, and execute
ALTER DISKGROUP <DISKGROUP_NAME> MOUNT; to mount the disk groups.
6. Bring the database instances on all inactive nodes to the mount state or open state manually.
Omnirc variables required during an Instant Recovery
session
For both clustered and standalone environments
Set the omnirc variable ORA_ASM_HOME on the application host if ASM home is different from
Oracle home. For example:
ORA_ASM_HOME=/asm/home
If this variable is not set, the ASM home is assumed to be the same as the Oracle home. In a clustered
environment, set the variable on the active node.
For clustered environments only
1. Set the omnirc variable ORA_ASM_LCL_INSTANCE on the application host (active node of the
cluster), with the name of the ASM instance running in that node. For example:
If Node1, Node2 and Node3 are the three nodes of a cluster that comprise the application host
and +ASM1, +ASM2 and +ASM3 are the ASM instances which manage the disk groups for
each of these nodes respectively and if Node1 is the active node of the cluster then set the omnirc
variable in Node1 as ORA_ASM_LCL_INSTANCE=+ASM1
2. Set the omnirc variable ORA_LCL_INST_SRV with the net service name of the database instance in
the application host (active node). For example:
If Node1, Node2 and Node3 are the three nodes of a cluster that comprise the application host
and SRV1, SRV2 and SRV3 are the net service names of the database instances running on each
of these nodes respectively and if Node1 is the active node of the cluster then set the omnirc
variable on the Node1 as ORA_LCL_INST_SRV=SRV1.
Known Issue
Currently, in a clustered environment, when an Oracle backup set ZDB is executed for the first time,
the backup fails with the following error message:
Object not found or access denied.
Process exited:"/opt/omni/lbin/util_cmd" -getmethod Oracle8
BACKUP_SYSTEM%DB_NAME
Workaround:
In the backup host, execute the following command
./util_oracle8.pl -config -dbname <DB_NAME> -orahome <ORACLE_HOME>
-prmuser <PRIMARY_USERNAME> -prmpasswd <PRIMARY_PASSWORD>
-prmservice <PRIMARY_NET_SERVICE_NAME_1>,<PRIMARY_NET_SERVICE_NAME_2>...
-rcuser <CATALOG_USERNAME> -rcpasswd <CATALOG_PASSWORD> -rcservice
<CATALOG_NET_SERVICE_NAME_1> -zdb_method BACKUP_SET -bkphost
<BACKUP_SYSTEM>
