Hi,
Installing and Configuring the MaxDB standby database for DR.
Is it possible to restore the offline backup taken of MaxDB through Data Protector 6.11? The offline backup i.e. file system /sapdb, /sapdb/SID/sapdata1, /sapdb/SID/sapdata2, /sapdb/SID/sapdata3, /sapdb/SID/sapdata4, /sapdb/SID/sapdata5, /sapdb/SID/sapdata6 & /sapdb/SID/saplog. I want to restore this offline backup on other server and configured the other server as standby database for DR.
My question is once I restored this offline file system backup on other server how to initialize the database i.e. how to configure the database as standby database. As we do in Oracle we take the offline file system backup and then restore on other server and then start the database in mount state and then configure it as a standby database.
And also like in Oracle Dataguard we can enable the log shipping and auto apply logs on standby database as automate. But I want to know is there any other way in MaxDB to log ship and log apply other then scripting?
And also like in Oracle Dataguard we can do the switchover from Standby to Primary and Primary to Standby. And then later once primary is back online we can put that database which is in standby to primary. Is that possible in MaxDB? If yes then please let me know the steps?
Thanks,
Narendra
