EVM-Oracle Job Overview

Procedures Overview

  1. Review the Oracle database and identify files to replicate.

  2. Review and configure the source units. Use a StorageWorks administrative tool, such as CLI Window, to review the configuration of units that contain Oracle databases. If necessary, reconfigure to optimize replication speed and disk resources.

  3. Create script files to handle Oracle interactions. Use a text editor to create script files that will handle Oracle interactions.

  4. Create an EVM-Oracle Job. Use the EVM wizard to specify the units that you want to replicate and the script files that will handle Oracle interactions. Specify the mount points for BCV units. If you want to back up BCV units to tape, specify the batch job that will run the backup application.

  5. Test your procedures in a controlled, non-production environment.

  6. After testing, schedule the EVM-Oracle job to run later, or run it immediately.

 

Events Overview

The main events in an EVM-Oracle job are shown below. When replication is by the clone method, EVM selects disks and normalizes the members. When the BCV disks are ready to split, EVM runs the command file with the database pre-split commands (T2). EVM then splits the BCV units and runs the command file with the database post-split commands (T3). The EVM job then continues to perform its remaining steps.

 

The EVM Server and EVM Client are noted with red and orange dots, respectively.
