[OAUGNetDBA]-Re: Question on sequence of events of backup EMC BVC

[Brian Bent <bbent@solutionbeacon.com>]

Hi Ronald -
Here are going to be your high level steps you need to follow:

Establish your BCVs (full or incremental)
Sync your BCVs
Put the database in hot backup mode
Split your BCVs
Take the database out of hot backup mode

Your entire application can remain up and available while this is going on.
Are your BCVs setup such that the database and application are on different
BCV groups or are they one group?  If there are multiple groups, then you
want to make sure and split both off at the same time so that the
application and database are both at the same point in time.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Brian
