exclude /opt/oracle

[lawrenzo_1]

Hello

I have noticed the following:

we run net_recovery and find that /opt/oracle is mounted under /opt, all DB's are mounted on seperate filesystems under /opt/oracle:

# bdf |grep oracle

dev/vgsg10/lvol4 71680000 666927 66575260 1% /opt/oracle/archive/paappuk
/dev/vgsg08/lvol1 16121856 5341966 10106405 35% /opt/oracle/backup/ch1/paappuk
/dev/vgsg08/lvol2 16121856 5157041 10279774 33% /opt/oracle/backup/ch2/paappuk
/dev/vgsg08/lvol3 16121856 5384499 10066530 35% /opt/oracle/backup/ch3/paappuk
/dev/vgsg08/lvol4 16121856 5488305 9969213 36% /opt/oracle/backup/ch4/paappuk
/dev/vgsg10/lvol1 20463616 16768612 3637276 82% /opt/oracle/u06/oradata/paappuk
/dev/vgsg10/lvol2 20463616 12589184 7751400 62% /opt/oracle/u07/oradata/paappuk
/dev/vgsg10/lvol3 20463616 12628692 7712512 62% /opt/oracle/u08/oradata/paappuk

These file systems are gettng included in the ignite therefor it is failing due to the size of the archive and cannot gzip to the master server.

The question I have is:

1> I have exluded /opt/oracle from the ignite, using $IGNITE_BIN/make_net_recovery -s $IGNITE_MASTER -a $ARCHIVE_MASTER:$ARCHIVE_PATH -x exclude=/opt/oracle

when I check arch_include file I notice that it still display's the oracle filesystems - does this mean that it is still excluding the files here?

2> Is there anyway I can calculate the amount of data backed up to how much should be backed up in vg00?

3> A file flist is produced on the master server, what command is best to check difference's between a backup that is run excludng and then including /opt/oracle to check that the files are not being backed up.

4> How can I confirm without having to run the ignite that all files have been archived?

Thanks in advance man!

Good grief is that system still in production! Thought you'd got rid of all these systems...

Anyway, make_net_recovery shouldn't be including anything outside the root VG unless someone has been fiddling with include/exclude lists.

make_net_recovery should only include what is listed in /opt/ignite/recovery/mnr_essentials -or- /var/opt/ignite/recovery/mnr_essentials if it has been created -or- if someone has fiddles with the content of /var/opt/ignite/clients/0xLLA/recovery/archive_content on the ignite server

Have a look at page 208-210 in the ignite admin guide...

Hi lawrenzo,

maybe you should specify the entire path of filesystems for example

-x exclude=/opt/oracle/backup/ch1/paappuk
-x exclude=/opt/oracle/backup/ch2/paappuk
....


and not just /opt/oracle.

HTH.

Best regards,
Fabio

Hello duncan, yes we still use some legacy systems!

Thanks both for the advise!
