Abstract: This white paper explains the use of IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller (SVC) Advanced Copy Services for backing up and recovering Oracle Real Application Clusters 10g (RAC) databases that use Oracle Database 10g Automatic Storage Management (ASM). Both Oracle RAC and Oracle ASM technologies introduce some differences with regard to Oracle Backup and Recovery that uses IBM FlashCopy technologies when compared to single-instance, file system-based Oracle configurations. You can leverage SVC Advanced Copy Services in any production shop that runs Oracle RAC 10g databases on Oracle ASM. This white paper shows the robustness, speed, and ease with which you can back up, restore, and recover databases, no matter their size.
