Configuring Auto Image Replication for Oracle instant access backups
You must add replication to the stream and the snap storage lifecycle policies (SLPs) to ensure that the SLP metadata is replicated for restore from an instant access backup image.
Oracle copilot with universal share's SLP (storage life policy) must include the backup from snapshot operation. The backup can only be used for Instant Access. Instant Recovery (nborair) is not supported.
To configure Auto Image Replication for Oracle instant access backups
- Configure Auto Image Replication between two NetBackup master servers.
For more information about configuring Auto Image Replication, refer to the NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
- For Oracle instant access create the following storage lifecycle policies (SLPs):
stream-slp for backup
snap-slp for backup from snapshot
For more information about configuring storage lifecycle policies, refer to the NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
- Sign in to the NetBackup web UI.
- On the left, click Storage > Storage lifecycle policies and select the stream-slp policy.
- In the Backup operation, click Actions and select Add child.
- On the Properties pane, select the Replication operation and then select the Target import SLP.
- Click Create to add the child.
- On the NetBackup web UI, click Storage > Storage lifecycle policies and select the snap-slp policy.
- In the Snapshot and Backup from Snapshot operations, click Actions and select Add child.
- On the Properties pane, select the Replication operation and then select the Target import SLP.
- Click Create to add the child.
Replication then runs successfully for Backup and Backup from Snapshot operations in both SLPs.
