9.4 Configuring <strong>System</strong> <strong>Backup</strong> <strong>to</strong> Tape in the <strong>Archive</strong> <strong>Backup</strong> <strong>System</strong><br />
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/NOLOG MDMS$SBT_TRACE_LEVEL 'tracefilter'<br />
$!<br />
After editing SYS$STARTUP:MDMS$SYSTARTUP.COM, be sure <strong>to</strong> execute it so the logical<br />
is defined. By default the general in<strong>for</strong>mation and media movement in<strong>for</strong>mation are traced in the<br />
trace file ORA_DUMP:SBTIO.LOG. Refer <strong>to</strong> Section 9.11.1 <strong>for</strong> more in<strong>for</strong>mation about the logical<br />
MDMS$SBT_TRACE_LEVEL.<br />
9.4 Configuring <strong>System</strong> <strong>Backup</strong> <strong>to</strong> Tape in the <strong>Archive</strong> <strong>Backup</strong> <strong>System</strong><br />
Be<strong>for</strong>e you can use SBT, you must configure a catalog and an archive in ABS/MDMS. This section<br />
describes how <strong>to</strong> create catalogs and archives. Catalogs s<strong>to</strong>re in<strong>for</strong>mation about what in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
was backed up. <strong>Archive</strong>s allow you <strong>to</strong> implement your s<strong>to</strong>rage policies.<br />
This section shows you how <strong>to</strong> create the default catalog (ORACLE_DB) and the default archive<br />
(ORACLE_DB_ARCHIVE). By creating these two default objects, you can test SBT easier as<br />
described in Section 9.5.<br />
9.4.1 Creating an ORACLE_DB Catalog<br />
Be<strong>for</strong>e you can us the SBT feature, you must create a catalog. The catalog s<strong>to</strong>res the tape volume,<br />
saveset name, and piece name. The catalog allows SBT <strong>to</strong> lookup the tape volume <strong>for</strong> a<br />
res<strong>to</strong>re. You should only create one oracle_db type catalog that is accessible <strong>to</strong> Oracle’s Recover<br />
Manager(s). The catalog is created in ABS$CATALOG:. The catalog must be created in the<br />
ABS$CATALOG: direc<strong>to</strong>ry that is local <strong>to</strong> all nodes that will access the catalog.<br />
Use the following command <strong>to</strong> create a catalog named ORACLE_ DB:<br />
$ MDMS CREATE CATALOG ORACLE_DB /TYPE=ORACLE_DB<br />
Note<br />
Do not use the /NODE qualifier when creating the catalog. This version of SBT can<br />
only access catalogs that are local <strong>to</strong> the node.<br />
9.4.2 Creating an <strong>Archive</strong><br />
When doing an Oracle Recovery Manager res<strong>to</strong>re, allocateForMaint, or validate command, you<br />
must specify the catalog you want <strong>to</strong> use. However, the default catalog name <strong>for</strong> SBT is<br />
ORACLE_DB. There<strong>for</strong>e, if you do not specify a catalog, it will lookup in<strong>for</strong>mation in the<br />
ORACLE_DB catalog on the local node.<br />
Refer <strong>to</strong> Section 9.7 <strong>for</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation on how <strong>to</strong> access the ORACLE_DB catalog.<br />
An archive defines the tape volumes and archive attributes where you can safely s<strong>to</strong>re data. Each<br />
archive has a unique name and contains a set of archive characteristics. You can have as many<br />
archives as you want <strong>to</strong> implement your s<strong>to</strong>rage policies. This section describes how <strong>to</strong> create an<br />
archive and what attributes pertain <strong>to</strong> SBT. You should refer <strong>to</strong> the command reference guide <strong>for</strong><br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation about creating archives and their attributes. You may want <strong>to</strong> create an archive that<br />
keeps tape volumes <strong>for</strong> a year and another that keeps tape volumes <strong>for</strong> 35 days.<br />
Note<br />
When using SBT you do not use an environment, save, or res<strong>to</strong>re object.<br />
The following command creates an archive named ORACLE_DB_ ARCHIVE:<br />
$ MDMS CREATE ARCHIVE ORACLE_DB_ARCHIVE -<br />
/ARCHIVE_TYPE=TAPE -<br />
