BlueXP is now NetApp Console
Monitor and run hybrid cloud data services
In this demo, I'm going to show you how to protect your Oracle databases that is running in your onromises to a object storage in cloud. I'm choosing backup and restore service. So this is the service where you need to protect your databases or volumes. I have some of my volumes protected here which is running on my all flash storage. Uh but the key thing here is it is not application consistent. Well, let's get into the applications page. So that's where you can protect your databases with app consistency. Well, this feature is integrated with snap center. So you need to have snap center running on your onrem uh to protect your databases and that's where you get app consistent snapshot. So I'm registering my snap center server and with that it auto discovers all the applications running in the snap center server and again these are all eligible resources that can be protected for off-site backup. off-site backup. off-site backup. You can also add more snap center servers as you see here. If you click on register again you should be able to add multiple snaps servers. And you can see that I have got one Oracle application and 12 SQL applications and all of them are unprotected. Let me go ahead and activate the backup for ORCL NFS. Well, the process is quite simple. You just need to associate with a policy. So here are a few policies uh which has um different retention counts. I'm going with one year daily LTR which has a retention of 366 daily backups. So with that you're in the summary screen. Let's confirm it by clicking activate backup. So that's it. So your resource is now associated with a policy. You can go and track the progress of the job in the job monitor screen. Behind the scene, it does two main job. One is creating a replication relationship between my on-prem and the cloud object storage. Secondly, it does a baseline transfer from my on-prem to object storage. Now, let's see it in my Azure cloud. You can see I have got a resource group EIN east to RG. So, there is this new storage account that has been created by cloud backup. Let's click on this. Well, you can see first thing is the performance and access tier on the top right which is standard cool and uh let's go ahead and check the containers.Well, you can see there is a container that has been created and the public access level is private. So, it'sonly private to CBS. You can see a couple of objects have been created. So these are some of the baseline data that has been transferred from the ONAP to uh cloud object storage. So let's go back to the NetApp cloud manager platform um and check the details of my ORCL NFS database. If you click on view details, you should be able to see the complete details of the database protection uh such as the database version, the storage footprint and protection details that covers the provider name, region, bucket and account ID. Once the onap schedule kicks in, you should be able to see the snapshots listed here. Thus, you have noticed how simple it is to protect your database backups to an off-site destination.
