Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1: Storage and Availability Management for Oracle (5900-1504, April 2011)

Run the SFDB commands as needed for your tasks.

After finishing your SFDB tasks:

■ Shut down the database.

■ Unmount the volumes.

Resume VVR replication.

Adding a virtual hostname after a DR failover

After a DR failover, you will need to add a virtual hostname to the SFDB repository.

■ As Oracle DBA, copy the repository from the primary host to the secondary

host.

For example, if your repository resides in /oradata, copy all the files in the

directory /oradata/.sfdb_rept from the primary host to the secondary host

with the same directory path.

■ As Oracle DBA, create a repository directory and create a symlink for the

repository.

For example:

$ mkdir /etc/vx/vxdba/$PRIMARY_DB_ORACLE_SID

$ ln -s /oradata/.sfdb_rept \

/etc/vx/vxdba/$PRIMARY_DB_ORACLE_SID/.sfdb_rept

The SFDB tools command dbed_update has two command line options:

-o list

-o rename,old_node=<old_name>,new_node=<new_name>

The command dbed_update -o listdisplays all the host names registered in the

repository.

For example:

$ dbed_update -S $ORACLE_SID -H $ORACLE_HOME -o list

dblxxeon04 1

The command dbed_update -o

rename,old_node=<old_name>,new_node=<new_name> is used to rename the

hostname from the old_name to the new_name.
