Snapshot, SnapRestore and
SnapMirror Provide Immediate Relief
•Use Snapshot/SnapRestore for full scale tests on production
environment
• Take a Snapshot, run the test, then use SnapRestore

•Reduces recovery time risks

• Use SnapRestore as security for maintenance like planned SW-
Upgrades, Data Uploads, etc

•Use Snapshot for Offline Backup

• Reduce downtime to a few minutes (cold backup)

•Use Snapshot for Online Backup

• Reduce the time you’re in degraded/vulnerable mode to a few
minutes (hot backup)

•Use SnapMirror for Disaster Recovery

• SnapMirror provides efficient replication of database files to a
remote location or DR-site

Fast Recovery from Unplanned
Downtimes
Database Recovery Scenario - An Example

 300 GB database and the entire database requires recovery

 Tape recovery time is 60 GB/hour
 Normal recovery time is 5 hours + log replay time

 SnapRestore reverts volume to same state as when backup was taken.

Duration - 3 minutes
 Total recovery time: 3 minutes + log replay time

Simplify Your Environment While
Increasing Productivity and Focus

Typically, a DBA has too many …NetApp helps by eliminating or

responsibilities... simplifying some DBA functions
Disk layout tuning/re-tuning Eliminate
Backup design & scheduling Simplify
Upgrade testing & scheduling Simplify
Disaster recovery Simplify
Database tuning Allow focus
Application tuning Allow focus

NetApp makes the first 4 easy, so DBA’s can spend

their time on the high leverage items!

Client workstations and terminals

Client workstations and terminals

• Extra CPU in the architecture that is 100% dedicated to storage

management

• Dramatic reduction in I/O latency is a key enabler for database

environments
–Reads are optimized due to file level intelligence in read-aheads
–Writes are faster due to NVRAM and built-in RAID 4 striping

• Speeds (increasing by factor of 10) vs. SCSI or FC speeds

• Automated disk layout is resilient to growth and change

sharing
 Optimized for high performance
 Semantics for clustered file sharing environment
 Transport independent
 Uses standard memory-to-memory I/O architecture
 NetApp products on InfiniBand, 1Gb and 10Gb Ethernet
 A fundamentally new way for high-performance and
cluster applications to access file storage
 Provides direct application access to transport resources
 Avoids Operating System overhead 36

db2inidb utility

•The db2inidb utility operates on the mirrored copy

-Perform crash recovery
-provide a duplicate copy of the database for
reporting purposes
-Put the copied database in a roll-forward pending
state and roll forward the database
-keeps the mirrored copy synchronized with the
primary database
-Allow the mirrored copy of the database to be
backed up
-backup that does not impact the performance
of the primary database server.
