Configuring an OIP using universal shares (Oracle Copilot)
Supported platforms for Oracle Copilot backup with Universal Shares
Table: Supported platforms
Universal shares | Platform | Version |
|---|---|---|
Multiple | BYO | NetBackup 10.2 and later |
Single | BYO, Flex Appliance , Flex Scale | NetBackup 10.0 and later |
Multiple | Flex Appliance | NetBackup Flex Appliance 3.0 and later |
Multiple | Flex Scale | NetBackup Flex Scale 3.1 and later |
Single | NetBackup Appliance | NetBackup Appliance 5.0 and later |
Note:
Oracle Copilot with universal share is not supported on a universal share that has WORM enabled storage.
The option protects the database backups that an Oracle DBA creates on a universal share.
The option enhances the OIP to allow the NetBackup Administrator to choose a single or multiple universal shares as the destination for the first backup copy. The backup copy is a full set of data file copies that are maintained by updating only the changed blocks if is selected.
If using Oracle Copilot with RAC then the following must be configured:
Each node of the RAC cluster must have access to the Oracle Copilot shares.
The Oracle Copilot shares have to be mounted on each node of the RAC cluster using the same mount point name on each node.
To configure an OIP using universal shares (Oracle Copilot)
- Create universal shares with the NFS protocol.
Refer to the information on creating a universal share in the
NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide. - Mount all the universal shares on the Oracle clients.
- Create an Oracle Copilot policy and then in Backup Selections, select the mount points of the universal shares.
