Oracle resource concepts
Oracle replication (backup) and restore (recovery) overview
The replicat
ion ma nager’s optional Oracle-integration features simplif y and automate replication (backup)
and restore
(recovery) pr ocedures for Oracle resources.
In addition, these features provide the ability to mount copies on a separate host for batch processing,
data mining, application testing, data warehousing, or other processes that need a n independent copy of
an Oracle database.
Online (hot) backups

server’s overall per formance, and I/O, compared to normal online backups.
Information about each backup is ma intained in repositories and is displayed in the GUI. See r epositories
and viewing Oracle resources.
• You can use the GUI to create backups on demand. See replicating Oracle resources using the GUI.
• You can also create backups by running a job on-demand or at scheduled tim es. See
replicating O racle resources using jobs.
Recoveries and migrations
The replication manager can recover Oracle resources by presenting and dynamically mounting backups
of virtual disks on the original server.
The replication manager can also present and dynamically mount backups of virtual disks on different
servers
than the original (migration). This allows other o perations, such as tape backups or data
mining
, to be performed on a different host, which further improves the original Oracle server’s overall
perfor
mance by eliminating loads d ue to other applications and operations.
• You can use the GUI to perform recoveries a nd migrations on-demand. See
restoring Oracle resources using the GUI.
• You ca
n also perform recoveries and migrations by running a job on-demand or at scheduled
times. See restoring Oracle resources using jobs.
Considerations
• All relevant Oracle resources must be located on suppor ted HP storage arrays that are available
to the replication manager. See Oracle-integration license policies.
• Each array must have an HP application-integration license for Oracle. See
Oracle-integration licenses overview.
• The Oracle applications must be located on ser vers tha t are running replication manager host
agents.
• For support details, see the HP StorageWorks EVA software comp atibility reference.
