When you use RMAN to back up Oracle rather than
Avamar Administrator, you must specify the backup expiration time. Otherwise, backups that are stored on the Avamar server never expire. Specify the backup expiration by including the
--expires option for the
avtar command in the
avtar flag file. The
avtar process reads the
avtar flag file during RMAN backups and restores.
About this task
NOTE:Do not include the avtar
-c and
-x options in the
avtar flag file. The
-c and
-x options might conflict with other
avtar options that are specified for backup or restore operations that
Avamar Administrator runs.
Steps
Create a plain text file with a text editor.
The remaining steps use
my-avtar-flags.txt file as an example flag file.
pidnum is the correct PID number for the operating system:
For Linux, use PID 1002.
For Solaris, use 2002.
For Windows, use 3002.
For HP-UX, use 4002.
For AIX, use 5002.
install-dir is the base installation directory for the platform. For example, specify
/usr/local/avamar on Linux,
/opt/AVMRclnt on Solaris,
C:\Progra~1\avs\bin on Windows, and so forth.
user is an Avamar administrative user account.
password is the Avamar administrative password.
my-db-client is the Oracle database hostname.
{num-days |timestamp} specifies backup expiration as the number of days from today (num-days) or an absolute timestamp.
To use an RMAN script to back up Oracle to Data Domain systems, add the following Data Domain-specific entries:
--ddr=true --ddr-index=ddr-index
where
ddr-index is the index number (1, 2, 3, and so forth) that you assign to the Data Domain system when you add it to the Avamar server configuration.
NOTE:
If the backup is not to a Data Domain System, then add the following entry:
--ddr=false
Save the file to /oracle or another convenient place in the search path.
