Create a Data Protection Plan

Creating a protection plan starts with selecting your source LUNs from the primary Oracle FS System.

Log into the control service Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine to create your protection plan.
  1. Navigate to Protect > Oracle Storage > Create Protection Plan.
  2. Provide a name for the protection plan, and then click Next.
  3. From the Add Protection page, enter a description for the plan.
  4. Select the primary Oracle FS System from the Select Oracle Storage list.
    Result:
    After you select the Oracle FS System, the Select Primary LUN table provides you with a list of available primary LUNs.
  5. From the Select Primary LUNs list, select each source LUN to protect.
    Note: A check mark displays next to the LUN name of the selected LUN.
  6. (Optional) Select the Network Address Translation IP (NAT IP) option for either source or target.
    Valid options:
    Use Primary Replication Engine NAT IP address for Source

    When the primary Oracle FS System and the Replication Engine are in different networks, enable this option to establish communication between the primary Oracle FS System and the Replication Engine. You also need to update the Replication Engine NAT IP address in the Agent Settings page.

    Use Primary Replication Engine NAT IP address for Target

    When the Replication Engine and the secondary Oracle FS System are placed in different networks, you need to update the NAT IP of the Replication Engine's NAT IP in the Agent Settings page and enable this option. This option establishes communication between the Replication Engine and the secondary Oracle FS System.

  7. Click Next.

To continue creating the protection plan, select the target LUNs.

Note: At some point, you might delete a protection plan either intentionally or in error. If you want to recreate a protection plan that has been deleted, and use the same name as the deleted plan, you might receive an error message Protection plan name already exists, which will prevent you from performing the task of recreating the plan. If you receive this error message, wait one hour before attempting to recreate the protection plan, then try again.
