Any new backup strategy with Oracle VM 3.1 ?

Now, since Oracle VM 3.1 was released, could we be updated with backup strategy.
Backing up OCFS2 repositories allow us protect OVF files right?, but what happen with apps runing on VMs, these data is also backed up? what about open files, databases, etc.
I will appreciate any comment.
Thanks in advance.

try running this on each server:
/usr/bin/rescan-scsi-bus.sh

Long-term retention backup strategy for Oracle 10g

Hello,
I need design a Archivelog, Level 0 and Level 1 long-term retention backup strategy for Oracle 10g, It must be based in Rman with tapes.
¿Somebody could tell me what it's the best option to configure long-term retention backups in Oracle?, "CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 1825 DAYS;" It's posibble ?
Regards and thanks in advance

Hello;
RECOVERY WINDOW is an integer so yes its possible. Does it make sense?
Later My bad, this is Oracle 11 only ( the gavinsoorma link ) . Getting harder and harder to think about 10. Don't think I would use RECOVERY WINDOW.
I would let the tape backup system handle the retention of your rman backups.
Using crosscheck and delete expired commands you can keep the catalog current with the available backups on tape.

Keeping a Long-Term Backup: Example

http://web.njit.edu/info/oracle/DOC/backup.102/b14191/advmaint005.htm
Oracle 11
If you want to keep 5 years worth of backups I might just use KEEP specific date using the UNTIL TIME clause :
keep until time 'sysdate+1825'More info :
RMAN KEEP FOREVER, KEEP UNTIL TIME and FORCE commands

SAP Note 378648 - Offline backup support with Oracle Fail Save

I am trying to implement SAP Note 378648 - Offline backup support with Oracle Fail Save, but am unsure about part of the solution....
Basically, I have to add several parameters into the Environment Variables of the MS Clustered Servers running Windows Server 2003 for the user xidadm...
Fairly straight forward apart from one parameter....
BR_OFS_DOMAIN=<domain>
I am unsure what is required/meant by domain. Can anyone shed some light??

Those are environment variables of the Windows user who is running brbackup; usually this is SAPService<SID>.
You have to set this variables the same way as you set ORACLE_HOME and so on.
(I am not sure about the details; never worked with MS cluster.)
hope this helps

RMAN Automatic backup/recovery with oracle fail safe, windows cluster

Hello,
I have question,
1) Whether it is possible to do "RMAN Automatic Backup and recovery" in environment as ?
Environment: -
a. Windows clustering with windows server 2003 Enterprise Edition R2 (Two Node Clustering)
b. Shared disk ( RAID )
c. Oracle 10g standard edition one
d. Oracle fail safe v3.3.3 (for redundancy)
Here we have single oracle instance operating on single database whose files are located on shared disk.
2) If answer to above question is yes please specify if there is some good documentation to it.
Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rahul

You just need to make sure that the RMAN scripts are always able to connect to the target database instance whether instance runs on cluster node 1 or cluster node 2
here, If oracle services(resources) will shift from Node1 to Node2 (due to media or any failure) during RMAN Backup then there will be break in connection, will it destroy my backup or will it get started automatically without any harm?
and also I want to know,
Do we need to setup another server which will have RMAN backup script running?

Backup strategy with no tape drives/library

Hi, I am new into the job of sys admin, so we recently setup a system with running solaris 10 and with its storage as a NetApp, but we do not have yet a library or tape drive attached to it.
So how can I approach this problem? Can I setup a LUN on NetApp and copy all important stuff to that LUN?
FR

For the oracle backup, oracle should have comands to dump or export the database to a file, and that file could be backed up. Alternately, there are problably options to put the database in read-only mode, so that you can back up the database files without worrying that they will be changed during the backup.
For other files, if you are using zfs snapshots, you could back up the zfs snapshots even if the original file is still open.
You might also want to look at the rysnc command- that should let you back up only files that have differ between the source and destination (i.e. you could do differential backups.) So maybe you could a monthly full backup with tar to NAS or SAN, a weekly rsync incremental backup, and daily zfs snapshot that is kept for a week.

Am using Firefox 5.0.1, any new tabs open with a search engine for imvu and when I go to about:config there is no entry for browser.newtab.url that I can modify

I am using Firefox 5.0.1.4205 with Windows 7 Home Premium Service pack1. My new tabs in Firefox open with a search engine for imvu rather than google as I would prefer. I can't find an answer to my problem so far because when I try the recommended use of about:config and finding browser.newtab.url; it is not listed. Is this version of firefox to old to have that, or is it just missing? What can I do to get my new tabs to open with a Google search engine. This is on my 80 year old father's computer so he is not likely to upgrade browsers as I would on my home computer. Thank you for any help with this.

The new tab page (about:newtab) wasn't introduced until a later version of Firefox (iirc, ''Firefox 10'') , which is why that pref can't be found.
Sounds like your father picked up some Malware.
Maybe this is what you're dealing with.

Backup strategy for Oracle E-Business Suite

Hi guys,
I am administrating an EBS (E-Business Suite 11i) System with two Application servers and two database servers running in RAC mode. At the moment, the system has just been backed up at database tier by using rman. Now, I also want to backup application tier. So, here is my questions:
- What is the most important thing which I must care when I backup the application. Because I am new at EBS so, more details and specific is, better is.
- Is a good approach if I back up entire the current system data (include binary file, class file, misc files, forms, reports,...)
Finally, anyone can share some experiences when do backup these systems?
Thanks and best regards,

Are there any new 17 " MBPs with matte display out which run properly?

Hallo,
I am about to buy one 17 MBP with matte display. But now I ve read all these posts and
I hesitate to order one. I don't want to have all the trouble to send it back and then wait
again. So, are there any guys who can not report these graphic issues?
Yours
Matthias

CD = Core Duo, the 1st generation of 17" MBP from way back in 2006. It was flawless when I got it. It's still running perfectly 3 years later. Only issue was a bad battery, and that was a known manufacturing problem at Sony that affected Macs as well as PC laptops. Apple extended the warranty to cover the issue, and replaced mine for free ~3 months after my one-year warranty expired. Two colleagues have the new 17" unibody MBP, one with glossy and one with matte, both are flawless.

Backup strategy with versioning

Hello forum,
I'm actualy looking into organizing our backups in a new way and I would like to know how you guys perform your file-backups.
We used to just copy our projects per sync-tool to another internal drive and archive unused projects on our nas. The problem with that setup is that you don't have older versions if you for example overwrite the wrong file and that wrong file is allready copied to the backup.
There is timemachine on the mac, but is there something similar under windows 7, that's also performing well with large data of video, graphics and After Effects files?
I'm looking forward to your experiences and workflows.
Thanks in advance
Daniel

We use Paragon here because it is cheaper and provides standard imaging and Drive tool features. The ability to backup data realtime similar to Differential backups without scheduling though is a feature only Retrospect has that I am aware of currently.

My Skype doesn't sync any new message, happening with all platform, only with my account

Hi guys,As been told on the topic title anyone has any idea about this trouble? It seems to be happened on my account only (eg. for group chatting my friend can still syncing new messages but doesn't happen to mine). Any idea or treatment I'd appreciate a lot, thanks.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out and sign back in.
- Try syncing them from your iTunes library
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

About Note 378648 - Offline backup support with Oracle Fail Safe

Hi forum,
I try to re-post it in Oracle word...
I read note 378648 but I don't understant where I must set the follow variables :
BR_OFS=1
BR_OFS_RESOURCE=< database_resource_name>
BR_OFS_CLUSTER=< cluster_name>
BR_OFS_USER=<user_name>
BR_OFS_DOMAIN=<domain>
BR_OFS_PWD=<password>
I try into init<SID>.sap but without success.
Regards.
Ganimede Dignan.

Those are environment variables of the Windows user who is running brbackup; usually this is SAPService<SID>.
You have to set this variables the same way as you set ORACLE_HOME and so on.
(I am not sure about the details; never worked with MS cluster.)
hope this helps

Are there any tutorials for JDeveloper with Oracle XE?

I have downloaded a tutorial for JDeveloper over Oracle.
In this it uses a connection to the OE (Oracles order entry database?), however it does not contain this database in the XE version.
There is however a HR (Human resources) database which I made some connection to, but this mean you cannot realy follow the whole tutorial, which is the point of a tutorial.
Also I read that the License to XE expires the end of next Jan, so that dosent give me much time to check it out.
thanks.

You have two options:
One get the OE creation script from some other Oracle install and install them on the XE database.
More info on where to get it is here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_as_1012/j2ee/common/obeconnection.htm
Or just use HR tables instead - most of the tutorials simply use a master details relationship - so in OE it is usually the customer who has order - and you can adopt it to the HR schema using the departments that has employees.
Don't know about the XE license, you might want to ask this on the XE forum.

New release strategy should not trgger for PO released with old Rel Strategy

Hi All,
Please suggest. Po has been fully released with Release Strtgy V1 XX. Now I m replacing release strategy XX with ZZ. If I change any po which has old rel str XX , system will reset new release strategy as in config changeability indicator 4 maintained.
But requirement is if there is any change or value decreasing in fully released Pos with old strategy it should not retrigger new release strategy. If value Increases then New strategy should retrigger.
Please help me on this.
regards,
Rohit

HI Rohit
A reset of the release strategy only takes place if
       - the changeability of the release indicator is set to '4' in
          case of a purchase requisition and '4' or '6' in case of
          another purchasing document (purchase order, request for
          quotation, contract, scheduling agreement),
       - the document is still subject to the previous release
          strategy,
       - the new TOTAL NET ORDER VALUE is higher than the old one.
The most important thing to consider in to avoid changes to release strategy customizing once the release strategy is used.
The commom steps are:
1- make sure all of the old POs should have been released.
2- don't delete/change the original release strategy. create a new release strategy with copy function, then the old release strategy will not be replaced.
3- if you delete the original release strategy and add a new release strategy which the characteristics in classification is same as old release strategy then the PO (have been approved) will be replaced with the new release strategy.
Kind regards,
Lorraine
