Offload profile example

Edit online

The profile provides parameters that customize how IBM® Storage Protect Snapshot works within a particular environment. Use this example to verify that the configuration of the profile is correct for an offloaded backup with IBM Storage Protect for Enterprise Resource Planning.

Some parameters that are typically defined in the IBM Storage Protect Snapshot profile are defined in the IBM Storage Protect for Enterprise Resource Planning .utl file, with some parameters under different names.

The following profile is an example of a Oracle in an SAP environment profile that does not contain a CLIENT section:

>>> GLOBAL 
# ACS_DIR /oracle/CET/acs
ACSD dooku 62000
TRACE YES
<<<

>>> ACSD 
ACS_REPOSITORY /oracle/CET/acs/repository
# ADMIN_ASSISTANT NO
REPOSITORY_LABEL CET
<<<

>>> OFFLOAD 
BACKUP_METHOD BACKINT
PROFILE /oracle/oracle11R2/dbs/initCET.utl
<<<

>>> DEVICE_CLASS STANDARD
COPYSERVICES_HARDWARE_TYPE SVC
COPYSERVICES_PRIMARY_SERVERNAME 192.168.1.104
# COPYSERVICES_USERNAME superuser
SVC_COPY_RATE 95
# SVC_CLEAN_RATE 50
# COPYSERVICES_COMMPROTOCOL HTTPS
# COPYSERVICES_CERTIFICATEFILE NO_CERTIFICATE
# COPYSERVICES_SERVERPORT 5989
FLASHCOPY_TYPE COPY
# COPYSERVICES_TIMEOUT 6
# RESTORE_FORCE NO
# LVM_MIRRORING NO 
# RECON_INTERVAL 12
BACKUP_HOST_NAME bano
TARGET_SETS T1
TARGET_NAMING %SOURCE_%TARGETSET
<<<

The following excerpt is an example of the GLOBAL and CLIENT sections in a .utl file:

...
### TSM4ERP parameters
MAX_SESSIONS ...
CONFIG_FILE ...
BACKUPIDPREFIX CET___
...
### IBM Storage Protect Snapshot parameters
ACS_DIR /oracle/CET/acs/
ACSD dooku 62000
TRACE ON
...
TARGET_DATABASE_SUSPEND YES
LVM_FREEZE_THAW AUTO
TSM_BACKUP_FROM_SNAPSHOT YES
MAX_SNAPSHOT_VERSIONS ADAPTIVE
DEVICE_CLASS STANDARD
...
### TSM4ERP server section parameters
SERVER ...
SESSIONS ...

The following example depicts the situation when the two profiles are created for the same database instance:

>>> GLOBAL
# ACS_DIR /oracle/CET/acs
ACSD dooku 62000

<<<

>>> ACSD
ACS_REPOSITORY /oracle/CET/acs/repository

>>> CLIENT

TARGET_DATABASE_SUSPEND NO
# MAX_VERSIONS ADAPTIVE
