HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Zero Downtime Backup EVA 10TB LTU B7025DA Folheto

 

Installing Data Protector Agents on RAC Cluster Nodes 

To back up a RAC Cluster, install Data Protector Integration software on all nodes in the RAC 

environment.  
Install the HP StorageWorks XP Agent on: 
• 

RAC server “amazon” with database instance RAC1  

• 

RAC server “congo” with database instance RAC2  

• 

Backup Server “victoria” with access to split-mirror S-Vol disks and tape drives 

Install the Oracle8 Integration Agent on:  
• 

RAC server “amazon” with database instance RAC1  

• 

RAC server “congo” with database instance RAC2  

• 

RMAN catalog server “caspian” with recovery catalog database instance RCVCAT  

As virtual host name for configuring backups is used, a Serviceguard package containing only the 

virtual IP and the virtual host name (atlantic.somedomain.com) parameters is created and distributed 
among the RAC nodes. For more information, refer to Chapter 6, Configuring Packages and Their 

Services, in the Managing Serviceguard Twelfth Edition document. 
Import the virtual host name “atlantic.somedomain.com” into the Data Protector Cell.

Virtual server: A network IP name and a network IP address are resources that define a virtual server 
of a cluster-aware application. Its IP name and address are cached by the cluster software and 

mapped to the cluster node on which the specific package or group is currently running. Since the 

group or package can switch from one node to another, the virtual server can reside on different 

machines in different time frames. 
For further information on installation procedures, refer to the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector 

Installation and Licensing Guide.
