NetBackup™ for Oracle Administrator's Guide

Configuring an OIP using universal shares (Oracle Copilot)

Note:

Oracle Copilot supports a single universal share from NetBackup Appliance, Flex Appliance, Flex WORM, Flex Scale, MSDP AKS (Azure Kubernetes Services)/EKS (Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service) deployment, and BYO on-premises on NetBackup 10.0 and supports multiple universal shares from Flex Scale cluster on NetBackup 10.1.1.

The Database Backup Shares option protects the database backups that an Oracle DBA creates on a universal share.

The Whole Database - Datafile Copy Share 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 Use Accelerator 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)

  1. Create universal shares with the NFS protocol.

    Refer to the information on creating a universal share in the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide.

  2. Mount all the universal shares on the Oracle clients.
  3. Create an Oracle Copilot policy and then in Backup Selections, select the mount points of the universal shares.
