Recovery Data

The osc-config-backup file system presented from the ZFS storage appliance contains these directories, which are all accessible through the IB or management (read-only) networks.

Directory
Includes
domains
zpool stream dumps, boot arguments (enables booting backup iSCSI LUN), and zone backups.
exadata
Exadata storage cell griddisk sizing information.
explorers
Explorer output.
ib-switches
Configuration, logs, and topology information.
log
Log of osc-config-backup executions.
mngt-switch

service-processors
SP XML backup.
ssc-data
Initial SuperCluster deployment tool data (SSCU) and Java OneCommand (JOC) data.
zfs-sa
ZFS storage appliance support extractor output and configuration backup.

Note -  For security reasons, the content of these directories cannot be accessed by the root user. To get access, connect as root to a domain and run su - oscbackR to become the oscbackR user. An osc-config-backup directory containing all the backup directories is available in the home directory. From there, data needed for recovery can be copied to a directory that is accessible by root.

Note -  osc-config-backup only backs up the configuration information of the ZFS storage appliance. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that all data on the ZFS storage appliance is backed up through replication (to a remote ZFS backup appliance) or NDMP. For more details about NDMP, refer to the white paper titled NDMP Implementation Guide for the Sun ZFS Storage Appliance, available from:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/sun-unified-storage/documentation
