Dell Avamar for Oracle 19.10 User Guide

Using the catalog for backup and restores

To use a catalog for restore, add the connect catalog string after the connect target string. For example, you can specify the following commands:

connect target user/password@mydb; connect catalog catuser/catpassword@catalog;

Open a command shell.
Log in to Oracle RMAN by using the Oracle user ID and password.
The command prompt changes to an RMAN prompt.
Restore the Oracle database by typing the following RMAN commands:

Connect catalog user/passwd@CATALOG; run { allocate channel c1 type sbt\ PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=install-dir/lib/libobk_avamar.so"\ format '%d_%U'; send '"--flagfile=/oracle/my-avtar-flags.txt"\ "--taskfile=/oracle/taskfile.txt"\ "--bindir=install-dir/bin"'; restore database; recover database; release channel c1; }
where:
- user and passwd are the credentials for the recovery catalog (CATALOG).
- 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.
