Hi guys,
im curretly doing my Oracle backup using a perl script to perform a consistency group based snapshot.
since id like to start using snap creator to do the same, i did not understood how to use a consitency group in snap creator.
ill explain better, i know on the config file how to specify to use a consistency group and his time usage... but im not sure it is applied on all the controllers and all the volume at the same time.
just to be more clear, this is a brief summary of my env:
2 filers head, each head have 2 volumes containing my LUNs (for ASM).
this is an extract of what i configured in my config file/ profile of snap creator:
SNAME=orareplica03
SNAP_TIMESTAMP_ONLY=N
VOLUMES=ntap4a:rac_data,rac_log;ntap4b:rac_data,rac_log
NTAP_SNAPSHOT_RETENTIONS=daily:1
NTAP_CONSISTENCY_GROUP_SNAPSHOT=Y
NTAP_CONSISTENCY_GROUP_TIMEOUT=medium
i do snapshots one a day. (except for testing purposes)
do you confirm that runing: ./snapcreator --profile replica03 --action snap --policy daily --verbose
is the correct syntax do it ?
any better trick or idea is very welcome
best regards,
Luca
