SAP-compliant Split Mirror Backup
IHAC with an SAP deployment on Solaris Containers; hence I cannot use the EMC "cookbook" for SAP backups with EMC Replication Manager, since RM (and EMC in general) has limited support for Solaris containers. Consequently, I am scripting the synch/split/mount integration with BRBACKUP.
My question is, does a file-based backup of the mirrors (in this case, EMC Business Continuance Voumes - BCVs) suffice for an SAP-compliant split mirror backup, or must the database replicas be mounted and started on the mount host(s)? Moreover, are there any special considerations if the production host is a Solaris container? With Exchange Server for instance, an integrity check is performed on the BCVs to meet Microsoft backup compliance. However, I have reviewed many SAP split mirror documents, and I do not see this expressly stated as a requirement.
Regards,
MikeC
I have only seen split mirror backups on HP-UX with XP-frames. So i cannot say anything specific about the Solaris/EMC. But there we only do file backups, even for online backups. Like this:
- set the database in backup mode
- split the disks and mount the filesystems (on the backup server), end backup
- backup the files
- umount the filesystems, resync the disks
Offline backups work more or less the same, but instead of backup mode, you shutdown the database. The only time we might start an instance on the split side is, when we do a restore test with recovery.
Cheers Michael

PSAPPD1 ONLINE* ONLINEHi again
Please let me know whether we need to put the parameter remote_login_password=exclusive in pfile or spfile
I prefer the spfile, just:
SQL> alter system set remote_login_passwordfile = exclusive scope = spfile;
To grant sysoper to system:
SQL> grant sysoper to system;
And restart the instance.

Split-mirror backup: Attempt to mount unknown instance
Hi experts,
I am backing up the Oracle database of an SAP system online via the split-mirror approach with a BRBACKUP -t online_split command. After having copied all datafiles, BRBACKUP terminates with the following error message (excerpt):
BR0330I Starting and mounting database instance X86/SPLIT ...
BR0278E Command output of '/oracle/X86/102_64/bin/sqlplus':

At this point,
- all data files have been copied successfully;
- the control files have been copied;
- a copy of the backup summary .fnd file has been written to the sapbackup directory of both database host and backup host;
- I verified that the tablespaces had been put into backup mode before the split command was executed.
I wonder why BRBACKUP is trying to mount an instance "X86/SPLIT" that is not defined in tnsnames.ora?
What is the function of this step, and how can I suppress it as this flags the entry of the backup run in DB12 as failed?

Split mirror backup action in db13
Dear gurus,
I am trying to schedule Split Mirror Datbase Offline / Split Mirror Datbase Online Backup through db13. But these specific action is not showing in DB13.
I am using AIX with Oracle 10g (sap ecc6 version)
Please guide how to configure the same

Can Split Mirror backups be used for RMAN database duplication?
Hi
We running Oracle 11gR2 EE.
We have storage backup procedures in place,which use Split Mirror technology, i.e BCV
We want to use RMAN to duplicate the source DB, using the BCV copy
Is this possible/feasible?
RudiHi
Thanks for the reply.
My intention is not to backup using RMAN from the BCV.Instead I want RMAN to use this BCV as the storage for our reporting DB
I will elaborate further my intended workflow.
Btw,the reporting DB will have a new name and all the SqlNet files will be in place.
Please let me know what you think.
On the target
In the existing production server (source) :
1.Put the DB in backup mode
2.Split the disks
3.End backup
4.Keep record of SCN
4.Register the new backups as datafile copy
On the target server (target)
1.Mount the report DB
2.perform incomplete recovery the report DB until the SCN
3.Open resetlogs
2 issues I'm not sure about :
a.How to I sync the report DB controlfile,so it will "see" the new backup?
b.Do I need a RMAN repository?

Restoration of backup done using Split-Mirror Disk in SAP
Hi,
I need to the DR activity tomorrow.
Its an Oracle database. We are doing the Split-Mirror backup of Prod. db on QA server.
I need to do the restore part. From where the restore script need to be given QA or Prod.
What are the changes I need to do in the util file for the restore to work.
Regards
Amit.Ashok,
HDS has in there own lab was able to use shadow image to create a copy of the ASM disk and present it to another server. HDS has not worked with Oracle to produce a Certified copy of the process. If you look on the ASM page you will see Netapp and EMC are just a few that have been Certified. I also have put ask HDS to work with oracle to allow us to use this feature.

Hi
About interest of RMAN split mirror backup. Have you one example where RMAN split backup is necessary ?
Regards
DenWith databases growing from gigabytes to terabytes, taking backups to tape from
the production system can overload the system and their completion time can
exceed the backup window. Utilizing a split mirrored solution is becoming more
popular because of higher performance disk to disk snapshot technology. There
are several vendors that have certified their snapshot technology for use with
Oracle databases. The list of Oracle Storage Compatibility Program (OSCP)
snapshot vendors can be found on OTN -
How can I split a backup on two hard drives with Time Machine ?
Back-up of my Imac with time machine is 1,3 TB. I have two 1 TB external hard drives but even if I had both as available in Time machine, it seems it doesn't allow to split the backup between the two hard drives. Any way to resolve this without buying another hard drive with more space?
Thanks in advanceYou cannot directly split a backup. Your only option would be to open the TimeMachine preferences from System Prefs. and add things to the exclusion list for one of the backups. Then, when you go to do the other backup you would reverse the process and add everything else to the exclusion list and remove the things you had on there in the first place.
Seems fairly intensive though when you could just go and buy a 2 or 3TB external drive and do it all in one...Black Friday is coming up

Cloning a drive and mirror backup techniques
Hi all,
I have configured my new Mac Pro and loaded new apps and am at a point now where I want to put together a 'backup plan' for backing up work files and a clone drive of my OS/apps drive. I currently have my OS/apps drive (the orig 320GB) in bay #1.
My 'work files' drive is a seagate 500GB in bay #2. I am not familiar with 'mirror backup' technologies but an ideal backup plan for me would be to have a drive in bay #3 that automatically mirrors anything I do on my 'work' drive in bay #2.
Can anyone help me out with suggestions to accomplish this or have a suggestion on a different backup plan? I also would like to have a clone OS/apps drive in bay #4 in case my main OS/apps drive should go down. Again, an ideal situation in this instance would be that any updates or app adds that I make on drive #1 would automatically be mirrored on clone drive #4. Is there a way to accomplish this without having a RAID array and drives? Also, is there a way to make a clone of my up to date OS/apps drive in bay #1 on a drive in bay #4 without having to load all the software and OS again?
Thanks in advance for any input.
I have found this forum invaluable, especially since upgrading to Mac Pro.
As I was contemplating a while back on the upgrade and asked in this forum
for input on moving to the 24" iMac (which is a great machine) vs. the Mac Pro, someone suggested that the iMac may be more cost effective in the short term but the Mac Pro would ultimately be the most cost effective in terms of expandability. I am so glad I went with the Mac Pro.
Best,
DennisIf you stay on the small side 1 or 2 external FW800 or eSATA drives work rather well. If you start having 5 or 10 1 - 15 TB hard drives then the mentioned sled type external drives are nice. I have really too many external drive cases. I finally purchased a 4 drive Sonnet eSATA, FW800/400 & USB2 interfaces which requires only 1 cable for any of the 4 types of connections & have easy to change hot-swap drive sleds.
Drive makers usually have s Server class hard drive for the best reliability. Seagate's are called their ES2 line of drives. They come in sizes up to 1 TB. Their Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB Hard Drives still have a 5 year warranty, but are not rated for 24/7 use.
FW800 is an easier to use external drive connector scheme. And as others have mentioned, a back-up can be done slowly in the back ground so does speed really matter. I do my backups to both internal & external drives. Internal for speed & ease. Then external for safety. If you really have information that could cost you a lot of lost time, effort &/or many then an off-site back copy is very important. This could be kept at your parent's, kid's, brother's, sister's, relative's, friend's or storage off-site storage unit.
My son uses SuperDuper for his clones. I use CarbonCopyCloner most of the time, but I also have a copy of SuperDuper. This is what I use to copy my working system to a new drive, then I keep up the old drive as my backup system. All you have to do is keep the files up to date, or reclone them when there is enough changes made. I like to do the updating & then use the system to be sure that it works way of doing things.
the beauty of all of this is that there are enough different ways that you can find 1, 2 or more of them to meet your current or future needs. As someone else said what works for him, may not work for you. -
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 -
Does SAP support incremental/delta backups? if so which note describes it
I'm just about to test incremental/delta backups on udb 9.5 fp1. Now to my question:
Does SAP support incrmental/delta backups?
Is there a note, I couldnt get a hit on OSS
Are there any gotcha's? such as do I need to move read only tables to a new talbespace?
Any info on this is greatly appreciated.
AnkeHi Anke,
You can specify whether you want to perform a full, incremental or incremental delta backup and the frequency via DB13 or the planning calender in DBACOCKPIT.
SAP Note 1269697 DB6: Backup Performance
should be of use to you and please also see our administration guide available at our main page
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/db6 under Administration. Specifically check the guide
"Data Recovery and High Availability Guide and Reference" mentioned in Chapter 8.3.5 Advanced Backup Techniques
There is not a specific SAP note relating to incremental/delta backups but they can be scheduled via DB13 and so, they are supported.

Paul -
Does SAP support split commissions between two sales employees?
Hi,
like lucas said, use a UDF (User Defined Field) and After make a request to have informations about commissions.
This is the request I use for multiples commissions in Sales Invoices.
You can modify it to have what you research:
SELECT T0.[DocNum], T0.[DocDate], T0.[CardName],
T0.[DocTotal], T0.[DocTotal]*T0.[U_Com1]/100as Commission_1,
T0.[DocTotal]*T0.[U_Com2]/100 as Commission_2 FROM OINV
T0 INNER JOIN OSLP T1 ON T0.SlpCode = T1.SlpCode
WHERE T1.[SlpCode] =3 ORDER BY T0.[DocDate]
//I create 2 fields with UDF: U_Com1 and U_Com2 where
I mark my commissions.
//T1.[SlpCode] is the Commercial code
My Code for multiple salesman is 3 (T1.[SlpCode] =3)
//You can complete the code to sort information by period -
Mirrored backup on external HDD fails
Hi all,
We have attached a HSB drive to server. When we backup on local drive and USB drive at the same time (mirrored backup) the following error is returned:
Executed as user: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. The mirror device "G:\New_Backups\Automation\Automation_2014-09-03.bak" and the mirror device "I:\New_Backups\Automation\Automation_2014-09-03.bak" have different device specifications. [SQLSTATE
42000] (Error 3212) BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.
What's wrong with my SQL Server?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
LeilaHi Leila,
Mirroring applies both to disk and tape (disks do not support continuation tapes). As in earlier versions of SQL
Server, all backup devices for a single backup or restore operation must be of the same type, disk or tape. Within these broader classes, you must use
similar devices that have the same properties. Insufficiently similar devices generate an error message (3212).
To avoid the risk of a device mismatch, use devices that are equivalent, such as, only drives with the same model
number from the same manufacturer.

Splitting Mirrored Raid Drives
Hello,
I have two external drives that are striped with one mirroring the other. I want to split or separate them without losing data. Can I just continue using the primary drive that comes up on the desktop (without plugging in the mirrored drive) without any problem? If I separate the mirrored drive, I presume I will need to erase it, and will not be able to access the media on it, correct? Is there any way to access the media on it and use it without erasing media?
I tried to access just the mirrored drive to see if it showed up in Disk Utility, which it did not. Then, after plugging in both drives, Disk Utility is now repairing raid slices...for another 8 hours. Did I damage my media?
If one can never access the data on a mirrored drive, then what is the benefit of it being a "backup"??
Thank you in advance,
Video EditorIs the RAID striped or mirrored. You said they were "striped" with one "mirroring" the other, but this is incorrect terminology. Either the RAID is striped or mirrored. You can create a mirrored RAID from two identical striped RAIDs, but an individual array is either striped or mirrored.
If you truly had a mirrored RAID, then separating the drives would not affect the data as each drive simply has a copy of the other. However, if you truly had a striped array that you separated, then your data may be lost completely because each drive actually has one half of the data and the other drive has the other half. Each file is literally split between each drive. Lose a drive and you lose the data.
