■ About Copilot
About Copilot
Copilot is a NetBackup appliance exclusive feature that integrates with native Oracle
tools and processes to give database backup administrators (DBA) more control,
visibility, and the ability to recover their database backups. Backup administrators
can then manage policies, move the data to different storage types, and create
off-site backup copies of the database backups.
Additionally, Copilot features NetBackup Accelerator technology to boost Oracle
backup and restore performance. NetBackup Accelerator integrates with Oracle’s
incremental merge capabilities to eliminate the need for full backups and allow new
full database images to be synthesized on backup storage post-process.
Copilot lets you create shares on the appliance for Oracle backup and recovery
and create further protection policies in NetBackup for advanced data protection
features like long-term retention, replication, and NetBackup Oracle Accelerator
technology. Copilot is exclusive to the appliance but requires additional configuration
steps within NetBackup software.
See “Oracle Intelligent Policy configuration options for Copilot” on page 35.
See “Create the Oracle Intelligent Policy for Oracle accelerator backups” on page 36.
Restore details
Copilot restores can be initiated from RMAN and NetBackup. In either case, RMAN
needs to be functional to complete the restore, as is the case with traditional restores.
Overview 10
Copilot configuration overview
The process to restore data is the same regardless if the data resides on a share
or in a NetBackup storage unit.
8 Once you have entered the NFS export options, the following information is
displayed:
- [Info] Summary:
Name : share_1
Description : Testing share_1
Allocated Capacity : 5GB
Clients :
10.100.0.2(rw,no_root_squash)
Option Description
Allows root account on client to access export share on server as the root
account.
root_squash Maps requests from UID and GID 0 to the anonymous UID and GID.
all_squash Maps all UIDs and GIDs to the anonymous user account.
By default, the NFS server chooses a UID and GID of 65534 for squashed
access. These values can be overridden by using the anonuid and
anongid options.
secure Requires that requests originate from an Internet port less than
IPPORT_RESERVED (1024).
insecure Disables the requirement that requests originate from an Internet port less
than IPPORT_RESERVED (1024).
See “Creating a share from the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu” on page 11.
Chapter 3
Mounting an appliance
share
This chapter includes the following topics:
Note: Oracle Direct NFS (DNFS) is recommended for optimal NFS client
performance with Copilot.
4 Grant the Oracle user permission to access the mount point using the following
command:
- #chmod 700 /mntpoint
Note: Before rebooting, make sure to unmount shares on all clients. If you
cannot perform this action, unmount the shares on the clients, then remount
the shares once the appliance has rebooted fully.
