■ About Copilot

■ Copilot configuration overview

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.

Note: Copilot is supported on the NetBackup 5230 Appliance or later hardware.

See “Database dump backup details” on page 9.


See “Oracle Accelerator backup details” on page 9.
See “Restore details” on page 9.
Overview 9
About Copilot

Database dump backup details


In a database dump configuration, RMAN is configured to put backup data on the
appliance share, which a scheduled NetBackup policy protects. Backup metadata
is synced with the RMAN catalog and the restore can be initiated either through
RMAN or NetBackup.
See “Oracle Intelligent Policy configuration options for Copilot” on page 35.
See “Create the Oracle Intelligent Policy for database dump backups” on page 44.

Oracle Accelerator backup details


In an Oracle accelerator backup configuration, an initial full backup is required and
subsequent backups consist of only changed blocks. The changed blocks are
merged with the full image to protect a new full backup. Once the merge process
is completed, a snapshot is created to produce a NetBackup backup image for
restore. Storage Lifecycle Policies (SLPs) are used for replication for data protection.
All images on the share and in NetBackup are available in RMAN or NetBackup
for restore. The following graphic illustrates how an Oracle accelerator backup
works:

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.

Copilot configuration overview


The following is a high level overview of what is needed to configure Copilot from
start to finish. The configuration covered in this guide uses two NetBackup
appliances. Your configuration may vary if using a different number of appliances
in your configuration.
■ Create a share on the appliance using the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu.
See “Creating a share from the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu” on page 11.
■ Mount the appliance share on the Oracle client using OS tools.
See “Mounting an appliance share” on page 14.
■ Configure a Storage Lifecycle Policy (SLP) using NetBackup.
See “Create a snapshot-based storage lifecycle policy for Copilot” on page 16.
See “Configure a second storage lifecycle policy for Copilot” on page 24.
See “Register the Oracle database credentials with NetBackup for Copilot”
on page 31.
■ Configure an Oracle Intelligent Policy (OIP) using NetBackup. There are two
OIP options available:

NFS export options

NFS export options


The following table describes the export options available for share creation or
modification.

Option Description

ro Allows only read requests on the Share.

rw Allows both read requests and write requests on the Share.

no_root_squash Disables all root squashing.

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.

anonuid Sets the uid of the anonymous user account.

This option forces all anonymous connections to a predefined UID on a


server.

anongid Sets the gid of the anonymous account.

This option forces all anonymous connections to a predefined GID on a


server.

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).

Chapter 3
Mounting an appliance
share
This chapter includes the following topics:

■ Mounting an appliance share

Mounting an appliance share


This procedure covers how to mount the share on Linux or Solaris Oracle server.
For more information about mounting the share on a Windows Oracle server, please
refer to documentation for configuring Direct NFS (DNFS) at http://docs.oracle.com/.

Note: Oracle Direct NFS (DNFS) is recommended for optimal NFS client
performance with Copilot.

Use the following procedure to mount the appliance share.


Mount an appliance share
1 Log on to the Oracle server as root.
2 Create a directory for the mount point using the following command:
- #mkdir /mntpoint

3 Mount the appliance share using the following command. Replace


<appliancename> with the name of the appliance and <share_name> with the
name of the share to be mounted.
■ For a Linux-based server, use:
Mounting an appliance share 15
Mounting an appliance share

- #mount -t nfs <appliancename>:<share_name> -o


rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,tcp,actimeo=0,vers=3,timeo=600
/mntpoint

■ For a Solaris-based server, use:


- #mount -F nfs <appliancename>:<share_name> -o
rw,bg,hard,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,vers=3,forcedirectio,nointr,proto=tcp
/mntpoint

4 Grant the Oracle user permission to access the mount point using the following
command:
- #chmod 700 /mntpoint

- #chown <oracle_user>:<oracle_group> /mntpoint

Note: To change share permissions, the no_root_squash option must be


enabled when on the share. This option can be disabled when the permissions
have been changed. Use the Edit Share command to change the NFS options
of the share. See the NetBackup Appliance Administrator's Guide for more
information on editing a share.

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.
