About Oracle Intelligent Policy primary server behavior

By default for an Oracle Intelligent Policy, the client uses the first server in the server list to start the Oracle backup or restore operation. However, you may want the operation to recognize the primary server name that is passed down from the primary server. If so, do one of the following:

  • On Windows, enter the USE_REQUESTED_MASTER = TRUE statement into a text file (for example, new_config.txt). Then use the following command on the primary or the media server to send this newly created configuration file to the client host:

    # bpsetconfig -h myoracleclient new_config.txt
  • On UNIX, add USE_REQUESTED_MASTER = TRUE to the bp.conf file, which enables more than one primary server to back up the client.
