DESCRIPTION
The nborair command can determine if an image is available for Oracle Copilot instant recovery. The command lists files from a backup ID, creates and deletes recovery points, lists recovery points from an appliance, and validates a snapshot for use. Some of the nborair options can only be run from the master server. The nborair command performs the following operations:
-list_images lists backup images compatible with Oracle Copilot instant recovery. This option can be run from the master server or the client.
-list_files lists the backup files information, from a given backup ID, for use with Oracle Copilot instant recovery. This option can be run from the master server or the client.
-create_recovery_point creates a recovery point on a NetBackup appliance for instant recovery. This option can only be run from the master server.
-list_recovery_points lists the recovery points available on the NetBackup appliance. This option can only be run from the master server.
-delete_recovery_point deletes the recovery point on the requested NetBackup appliance. This option can only be run from the master server.
-validate validates the snapshot for use with the recovery point that is created. This option can be run from the master server or the client.
Note:
The environment variable ORACLE_HOME is required to be set when the -validate operation is used in a Windows environment.
OPTIONS
- -appliance appliance_name
The NetBackup appliance where the instant recovery point is located.
- -backupid backup_id
The backup image that is used in instant recovery point operations.
- -client name
Specifies a client name to use for Oracle Copilot instant recovery. By default, nborair searches for all clients where the command was run.
- -dest_client name
The client the instant recovery point is exported to.
- -e mm/dd/yyyy [hh:mm:ss] or unixtime
The end date that is used to filter backup images. Use mm/dd/yyyy [hh:mm:ss] or pass unixtime with the - X parameter.
- -export_options options
Allows the user to set the NFS export options of the newly created instant recovery point. It takes as arguments a comma separated list of options.
See the NetBackup Appliance Administrator's Guide for the list of NFS export options.
- -export_path export_path
The export path for the instant recovery point.
- -mount_path mount_path
The mount path of the instant recovery point on the destination client.
- -s mm/dd/yyyy [hh:mm:ss] or unixtime
The start date that is used to filter backup images. Use mm/dd/yyyy [hh:mm:ss] or pass unixtime with the - X parameter.
- -server master_server
Master server to use.
- -verbose
Provides more information about the associated operation.
- -X
Interpret the - s and - e parameters as UNIX time.
