Setting up for Guided Recovery cloning
Guided Recovery cloning requires metadata (collected by default in NetBackup) cataloging, which enables database information to display in OpsCenter. Metadata cataloging must occur during the backup from the Oracle database to be cloned. The collected metadata displays within the OpsCenter interface to guide the Clone operation. Cloning also requires that the Oracle destination file paths exist before the operation begins.
Note:
Turning off metadata prevents Oracle cloning from working. Cloning is only supported with Oracle 11gR2.
Do the following before you perform a Guided Recovery cloning operation:
Configure metadata cataloging before taking the backup. By default, metadata collection is enabled in NetBackup. If you have disabled metadata collection, you must turn it back on before you can continue with the Guided Recovery cloning.
Set up all destination file paths before you run the cloning operation because the operation does not create new file paths during the process. Ensure that the Oracle user has write access to these paths.
