Oracle plug-in configuration notes

You can configure the Oracle plug-in to discover and protect your Oracle database applications with disk-level snapshots.

Before you configure the Oracle plug-in, make sure that your environment meets the following requirements:

  • A supported version of Oracle is installed in a supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) host environment.

    See Meeting system requirements.

  • Oracle standalone instance is discoverable.

  • Oracle binary and Oracle data must be on separate volumes.

  • Log archiving is enabled.

  • The db_recovery_file_dest_size parameter size is set as per Oracle recommendation.

    Refer to the Oracle documentation for more information:

    https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/setup005.htm

  • The databases are running, mounted, and open.

  • CloudPoint supports discovery and snapshot operations on databases that are in a backup mode. After taking snapshots, the state of the databases is retained as is; CloudPoint does not change the status of such databases. However, in-place restore for such databases is not supported.
