use of such programs is strictly prohibited unless Licensee procures the
right to use any such program and the applicable Enabler Code is
provided thereto.
3. LICENSE GRANT
3.1 Grant. Legato grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, nontransferable,

prohibited without violating the EC Directive on the legal protection of
computer programs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to
decompiling, disassembling, or otherwise reverse engineering any of the
Software, Licensee shall request Legato in writing, to provide Licensee
with such information or assistance and Licensee shall refrain from
decompiling, disassembling, or otherwise reverse engineering any of the

acknowledgment, or invoice shall in any way modify the terms or add any
additional terms or conditions to this EULA.
3.5 Updates. This section applies if the Software acquired is an update to
the original Software (the Update). An Update does not constitute a
legally licensed copy of the Software unless purchased as an Update to a
previously licensed version of the same Software. The Update may only
be used in accordance with the provisions of this EULA. The Update,
together with the original Software, constitutes one (1) legally licensed
copy of the Software.
3.6 Evaluation License. This Section applies if the Software is being used
for an initial thirty (30) day evaluation period. The license is valid only for
a period of thirty (30) days from the delivery of the Software, and is
designed to allow Licensee the right to evaluate the Software during such

Software, Licensee must purchase a license to the Software. Upon such
purchase, Licensee will be provided with an Enabler Code in accordance
with Section 2.2 above. In the event Licensee determines not to purchase

Example: Configuring RMAN as the Backup and Restore Utility
The following example describes a simple configuration of Oracles RMAN
utility (available with Oracle8 or later databases), which works with the
BRTools utilities, for backup, restore, and inquiry operations. For complete
instructions, refer to the appropriate SAP documentation.
1. With a text editor, open the SAP initialization file, init<ORACLE_SID>.sap,
which is typically located in the following directory:
2. Set the backup_dev_type parameter to use the RMAN utility by entering the
following:
# backup device type
backup_dev_type = rman_util
3. Uncomment the line for the rman_parms parameter and set it to include
each NetWorker software-specific (NSR_*) environment variable that is
appropriate for your backup, restore, and inquiry sessions.
For a list of these environment variables, see Table 21 on page 116. The
environment variable names must be uppercase and use the following
syntax:
rman_parms="ENV=(<var1>=<value>, <var2>=<value>, ...)"
For example:
rman_parms="ENV=(NSR_SERVER=server_name,
NSR_DATA_VOLUME_POOL=pool_name)"

2. Ensure that a NetWorker Client resource is created for each physical node
and for the virtual node.
3. Configure the NetWorker Module parameter file (init<ORACLE_SID>.utl)
with the appropriate client parameter setting for the type of backup you
want:

Module is to be used for the backup.
For more information on the available brbackup command options,
see "Appendix A: Commonly Used Command Options for brbackup,
brarchive, and brrestore" on page 109.
With this brbackup command, the Oracle database instance is backed up
to the NetWorker server.

Important: The client file indexes and bootstrap record are required for
restoring the data to a database system in the event of a disaster, such as a disk
failure.
To back up the client file indexes and NetWorker server bootstrap file, and
apply browse and retention policies to the client file indexes:
1. Include the client in a Group resource, which you must define in both the
NetWorker Administrator program and the init<ORACLE_SID>.utl file.
(A Group resource can be created even for a single client.) This ensures
that browse and retention policies are applied to the client file indexes
when the savegrp command is entered in step 2.
For more information on how to configure a Group resource with the
NetWorker Administrator program, refer to the Legato NetWorker
Administrators Guide.
Note: If the client is not included in a Group resource, you must perform
step 3 as an additional step to manually run the nsrim command.
2. On the NetWorker server, log in as the root user (UNIX) or administrator
(Windows), and enter the following savegrp command:
savegrp -O -c client_name
where:
-O saves the clients index files and the associated NetWorker
servers bootstrap without backing up the clients database files.
-c client_name specifies the hostname of the SAP R/3 server running
Oracle whose index files are to be backed up.
For more information on the savegrp command, refer to the Legato
NetWorker Command Reference Guide.

3. If the client is not included in a Group resource (see step 1), apply browse
and retention policies to the client index files by entering the following
nsrim command:
nsrim -c client_name
where -c client_name specifies the hostname of the SAP R/3 server running
Oracle whose index is to be backed up.
For more information on the nsrim command, refer to the Legato
NetWorker Command Reference Guide.

Reviewing Backup Session Reports
During backup, the NetWorker Module appends a backup session report to a
log file on each SAP R/3 server running Oracle where the NetWorker Module
resides. This file can be viewed with any text editor.
The default location for all logs is:

Cloning is the NetWorker process used to make an exact copy of saved data
(save sets) from a storage volume to a clone volume. You can clone individual
save sets or the entire contents of a storage volume. The cloned volumes are
indistinguishable from the original, except that the volume labels are different.
NetWorker software indexes and tracks clones in both the client file index and
the media database. The NetWorker Module for SAP R/3 with Oracle software
uses the sapclone command to clone save sets.

One or more records are written to the online client file index for the client
computer and its save set. These records are maintained until the browse
policy for the save set expires.
One record is written to the online media database for the location of the
save sets data on a specific storage media. This record is maintained until
the retention policy for the save set expires.
The expiration for the browse and retention policies must be set in the
NetWorker Modules parameter file. For details, see "Task 3: Configure the
NetWorker Module Parameters" on page 33.
Once the browse and retention policies expire, the backup media is eligible for
recycling and can be overwritten. Until the media is actually overwritten
(relabeled), the data from the media can be restored by using the scanner
command on the NetWorker server.
For a complete description of how NetWorker software uses browse and
retention policies to track data, refer to the Legato NetWorker Administrators
Guide.
Performing Restores
If a SAP R/3 server running Oracle was backed up by using the NetWorker
Module software, then you can restore data to the server by using either the
SAPDBA interface or the brrestore command directly. If a backup was done
with RMAN, then the restore should also be done with RMAN. For
information on restoring with RMAN, refer to the appropriate Oracle
documentation.
Note: Restore options used with either SAPDBA or the brrestore command
overwrite any corresponding settings in the SAP R/3 initialization file,
init<ORACLE_SID>.sap. For information on using the initialization file, see
"Task 4: Configure the Backup and Restore Utility" on page 42.

Requirements
Requirements
This section describes the types of environments and software required to use
the PowerSnap features of the NetWorker Module for SAP R/3 with Oracle
software.
Supported Environments
PowerSnap provides continuous point-in-time (PIT), snapshot-based
(immediate live backup) protection and availability of SAP R/3 with Oracle data
on supported primary storage platforms.
To use the PowerSnap features, the NetWorker Module must be used in
conjunction with the Legato NetWorker PowerSnap Module. The PowerSnap
Module creates the snapshots, and the NetWorker Module stores the snapshot
data.
PowerSnap backups must use servers, clients, or storage nodes on supported
platforms only. The supported types of primary storage platforms include, but
are not limited to the following:
EMC CLARiiON
IBM FAStT
STK D Series
Sun StorEdge Availability Suite
76
NetWorker client (installed on the SAP R/3 with Oracle server and the
PowerSnap client host)
NetWorker Module for SAP R/3 with Oracle software (installed on the
SAP R/3 with Oracle server)
NetWorker PowerSnap Module appropriate for your system (installed on
the SAP R/3 with Oracle server and PowerSnap client host and any data
mover host)
Note: Any PowerSnap client host or data mover host that manages the
secondary storage should have NetWorker storage node software
installed.

Instant Backup
Instant Backup
An instant backup creates a permanent point-in-time (PIT) copy, or snapshot, of
SAP R/3 with Oracle data. This copy is then stored on the primary storage
system where it is available to the NetWorker Module for performing instant
restores or rollbacks. Instant backups can be scheduled to occur many times in
a single day, with little impact to the SAP R/3 with Oracle Server or network.
A group of SAP R/3 with Oracle datafiles in the snapshot is referred to as a
snap set. The snapshot policy must be configured to control the lifecycle of the
snap set. This policy specifies the frequency of instant backups and how long
snapshots are retained before being recycled. For more information, see
"Configuring the NetWorker Snapshot Policy Resource" on page 87.
Live Backup
A live backup (also known as "snapshot rollover" or "rollover to tape" backup)
is a tape backup of a previously-created snapshot. This NetWorker Module
supports two types of live backup: immediate live backup, and deferred live
backup.
78
LEGATO NetWorker Module for SAP R/3 with Oracle, Release 3.0, Multiplatform Version
Administrators Guide
The Group Snapshot Policy must be configured to enable live backups. For
more information, see "Configuring the NetWorker Snapshot Policy Resource"
on page 87.
Note: A PowerSnap client host that is separate from the Oracle Server host can
be used to move the snapshot to the conventional storage medium such as
tape. The use of a PowerSnap client as a secondary host reduces the demand
on the Oracle Server. The PowerSnap client can be a NetWorker storage node.
For functional details on live backups, see the following:
Mounted snapshot

79
Instant Restore
Instant Restore
An instant restore is the process by which a snapshot that was created by an
instant backup is mounted. This enables its saved data to be retrieved. A
minimal amount of time is required for this type of restore.
For functional details of instant restores, see "Instant Restore and Rollback
Processes" on page 105.
Rollback
A rollback restores the entire snapshot to the source location by using the
hardwares particular capabilities. Relocation during rollbacks is not currently
supported by PowerSnap. To determine if a rollback is supported on a specific
type of hardware, refer to the appropriate NetWorker PowerSnap Module
Installation and Administrators Guide.
For functional details of rollbacks, see "Instant Restore and Rollback Processes"
on page 105.
For functional details on restores from secondary storage, see "Restore from
Secondary Storage Processes" on page 107.

A scheduled, deferred live backup can be run in one of the following ways:
The Backup Snapshots attribute of the Snapshot Policy resource specifies the
preferred method. For more information, refer to the appropriate NetWorker
PowerSnap Module Installation and Administrators Guide.
A scheduled deferred live backup uses the following process:
1. The nsrsnap or nsrsnapadmin program invokes the PowerSnap processes
to copy the snapshot to secondary storage.
Note: The snapshot is not deleted from the primary storage.
2. The nsrmmd service records tracking information about the deferred live
backup in the NetWorker media database by using the nsrmmdbd service.
3. The nsrindexd service records tracking information for each stored
operating system datafile in the NetWorker client file index.
Figure 9 on page 103 shows how the Oracle Server and NetWorker processes
interact during a scheduled deferred live backup.
