You can manually mount a database backup if you want to access the files in the backup.
Before you begin
- If you have an Automatic Storage Management (ASM) database instance in NFS environment and want to mount the ASM backups, you must have added the ASM disk path /var/opt/snapcenter/sco/backup_*/*/*/*/* to the existing path defined in the asm_diskstring parameter.
- If you have an ASM database instance in NFS environment and want to mount the ASM log backups as part of recovery operation, you must have added the ASM disk path /var/opt/snapcenter/scu/clones/*/* to the existing path defined in the asm_diskstring parameter.
- If you want to mount to an alternate
host you must ensure that the alternate host meets the following requirements:
- Same UID and
GID as that of the original host
- Same Oracle version as that of
original host
- Same OS distribution and version as that of
original host
Steps
- In the left navigation pane, click Resources, and then select the appropriate plug-in from the list.
- In the Resources page, select either Database or Resource Group from the View list.
- Select the database either from the database details view or from the resource group details view.
The database topology page is displayed.
- From the Manage Copies view, select Backups either from the primary or secondary (mirrored or replicated).
- Select the backup from the table and click
.
- In the Mount backups page, select the host on which you want to mount the backup from the Choose the host to mount the backup drop-down list.
The mount path
/var/opt/snapcenter/sco/backup_mount/backup_name/database_name is displayed.
If you are mounting the backup of an ASM database, the mount path +diskgroupname_SID_backupid is displayed.
- Click Mount.
After mounting the backup, you can run the following command to retrieve the information related to the mounted backup: ./sccli Get-SmBackup -BackupName backup_name -ListMountInfo
If you have mounted an ASM database, you can run the following command to retrieve the information related to the mounted backup:
./sccli Get-Smbackup -BackupName diskgroupname_SID_backupid -listmountinfo To retrieve the backup id run the following command:
./sccli Get-Smbackup -BackupName backup_name
