The following topics describe the steps required to restore databases. These examples are performed from the Restore Inventory, however they can also be performed from the Storage Inventory. For a detailed introduction on how to work with the Protector user interface, please refer to Hitachi Ops Center Protector User’s Guide.
When performing restore processing on an Oracle database, to prevent modifications of the existing configuration files and ensure they are available if required, Ops Center Protector always restores the following files to $ORACLE_BASE/SnapShotBackup/<SID>/<BackupTimestamp> on the server that is the target of the mount operation:
- controlfile (binary and ascii format),
- spfile (binary and ascii format),
- files recording the startCN and endCN,
- oracle-Password file,
- init.ora file
controlfiles and SPfiles are only copied if they are either in the same ASM Diskgroup or in the same directory with the database files or archive logs/redo logs.
ACFS is not supported (although the underlying ASM Diskgroup is copied).
