Using Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) › How to Restore an Oracle Database Using Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) › Perform a Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) of an Oracle Server › Review the Prerequisites

Review the Prerequisites

Review the following prerequisites before you restore the Oracle database:

• You have a valid recovery point and the encryption password, if any, for restore.
• You have a valid target machine for BMR.
• You have created the Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) (Linux) Live CD.
• If you want to perform a BMR using the IP address, you must get the IP address of the target machine using the Live CD.
• If you want to perform a PXE-based BMR using the MAC address, you must have the MAC address of the target machine.
• Oracle database stores all the database-related files (data files, redo logs, archive logs, pfile, spfile, backups) on ext2, ext3, ext4, and ReiserFS. The database does not recognize Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS/OCFS2), Raw disks, or Automatic Storage Management (ASM) file systems.
• Review the Compatibility Matrix which provides the supported operating systems, databases, and browsers.
