To back up Oracle VM Manager, you should back up the Oracle VM Manager configuration
file, and the Oracle VM Manager database schema. By default, this schema is
named OVS
, and this is used in the backup
example. Replace the schema name with your own.
The Oracle VM Manager configuration file is stored in this location:
/u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/.config
This configuration file contains database connection information, ports and the UUID used by Oracle VM Manager. An example of this configuration file follows:
Example 3.4. Oracle VM Manager configuration file
DBHOST=<hostname of database server> SID=<oracle SID> LSNR=<listener port number defaults 1521> APEX=<application express port number defaults 8080> OVSSCHEMA=<database schema name for oracle vm manager defaults ovs> WLSADMIN=<weblogic server admin defaults weblogic> OVSADMIN=<oracle vm manager administrator name defaults admin> COREPORT=<oracle vm manager core port defaults 54321> UUID=<oracle vm manager uuid>
To back up Oracle VM Manager:
Back up/copy the Oracle VM Manager configuration file located at
/u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/.config
As the root user, shut down Oracle VM Manager:
# /sbin/service ovmm stop
Back up the Oracle VM Manager database OVS schema. Run the Oracle
Database EXP
utility to export the OVS
schema. The following example shows how to run this utility on
the local install of Oracle XE. If you are using an Oracle
Standard or Enterprise Edition on the local host, or on a
remote computer, you should consult your Oracle Database
documentation for the appropriate method for your environment.
Log into the operating system as the
oracle user. You can su -
oracle
as the root user if you
do not have the password for the oracle
user.
Run the following commands:
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH export ORACLE_SID=XE expovsschema
/password
grants=y compress=y file=/location
/ovsbackup
.dmp
The ovschema
user in the exp
command should be replaced with the name of your OVS schema;
the default schema name in an Oracle XE install is
ovs
. Store the Oracle VM Manager database schema
backup along with the Oracle VM Manager configuration file.
