SnapCenter Plug-in for Oracle (SCO)

Issue

Migrating from SnapManager for SAP (SMSAP) to SnapCenter fails to include the copy of the control files and undo logs used by SAP:
  • /oracle/<SID> - oracle home, mounted on a NetApp volume orahome, no longer keeps a copy of the control files
    • /oracle/<SID>/mirrorlog - copy of the undo logs inside orahome
    • The copy of the Oracle control files for SAP usage, within the orahome mounted volume
  • /oracle/<SID>/sapdata - oracle database/tablespaces with its own mount on NetApp storage oradata, included in a snapshot by SCO
    • /oracle/<SID>/sapdata/cntrl - active control files, inside the sapdata file system and part of the snapshot on oradata
  • /oracle/<SID>/origlog - undo logs a.k.a. the redo logs with their own mount on NetApp storage, which are only included in a snapshot when DataGuard is used
  • /oracle/<SID>/archlog - archive logs with their own mount on NetApp storage oraarch, included in a snapshot by SCO
Restoring the database from that backup using SnapCenter will not match up with SAP usage, causing integration issues.
