PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance 5.16.0.0 Oracle RMAN User Guide

Oracle RMAN agent and File System agent coexistence

PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance supports the coexistence of the Oracle RMAN agent with the File System agent on AIX and Linux.

The coexistence of these agents enables you to protect the Oracle database with the host file system. PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance supports the following configurations for agent coexistence:

  • Both agents are in managed mode (registered to PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance).
  • Oracle RMAN agent is in stand-alone mode, with the File System agent registered to PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance.

    The File System agent in managed mode can coexist with the stand-alone Oracle RMAN agent that performs the Application Direct operations on Oracle databases.

NOTE:

The latest version of each agent must be installed if the agents are registered to PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance. The File System agent is supported in managed mode only.

PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance does not discover or manage any backup copies that are protected by stand-alone application agents.

The steps for installation and usage for each agent are the same. The supported cases table under "Application agent and File System agent coexistence" in the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance File System User Guide provides more information about the supported use cases.
