Configuring BRBACKUP for Split-Mirror Disk Backups

You must configure a SAP Oracle instance for both the source and proxy client. You must configure the following on the production and proxy servers before performing split-mirror disk backups using BRBACKUP:

  1. Create the SAP Instance from CommCell GUI for both Source and Proxy client. Install the Oracle SID on both the production and proxy servers. Make sure to install the same Oracle SID and maintain the same directory structure on both the production and proxy servers.

    Add the following parameter in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<SID>.utl file:

    CvSrcClient

    <Source_Client_Name>

    Example:

    Production=tigersnap
Proxy=tigersnap2
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initSID.utl file on the Proxy
CvSrcClient
tigersnap

  2. Configure the Snap-able volumes on the production server.

    Example:

    [root@tigersnap ~]# df -k
 Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
 /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
 32408432 30528060 207568 100% /

 drwxrwxr-x 2 oracle oracle 4096 May 29 16:34 mirrlogA

 [root@tigersnap ~]#

  3. Configure the volumes on the proxy server. Make sure that the data, logs, control files and the mirror are configured on separate volumes. This is to ensure that the sapbackup directory on the proxy is not replaced when you mount the snapshots /split-mirror disks on the proxy server.

  4. Configure the SSH with user equivalence (RSA Key sharing) between OraSID's on both the proxy server and production server. If you do not configure the SSH sharing, you will be prompted for the account passwords multiple times.

    You should meet the following User equivalency requirements:

    • You should have the same user name, UID and password on both the production and proxy servers

    • You should belong to the same group with the same group ID.

    Example:

    Make sure you get the same results on the production and the proxy:

    [oracle@tigersnap 10g]$ id oracle uid=501(oracle) gid=501(oracle) groups=501(oracle),502(dba)
 [oracle@tigersnap2 10g]$ id oracle 
 uid=501(oracle) gid=501(oracle) groups=501(oracle),502(dba)

  5. Configure the Oracle Parameters on SID of both the production and proxy servers. Setup *.ora, *.sap, *.utl parameters on both the Production and Proxy servers.

  6. Configure the TNS names on the production and proxy servers.

    Example:

    [oracle@tigersnap admin]$ pwd
 /home/oracle/product/10g/network/admin
 [oracle@tigersnap admin]$ more tnsnames.ora
 # tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: /home/oracle/product/10g/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
 # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = tigersnap.commvault.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)
) CER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = tigersnap.commvault.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = CER)
)
) CER.tigersnap =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = tigersnap.commvault.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = CER)
)
) CER.tigersnap2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = tigersnap2.commvault.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = CER)
)
) EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
)
)

  7. Add the service name entries on the production server.

    Example:

    [oracle@tigersnap 10g]$ lsnrctl stop
