🎯 Quick Actions
⚡ Emergency DR Activation (Production Down!)
# 1. Start DR VM
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "qm start 109"
# 2. Connect to VM (wait 3 min for boot)
ssh -p 22122 romfast@10.0.20.37
# 3. Run restore (takes ~10-15 minutes)
D:\oracle\scripts\rman_restore_from_zero.cmd
# 4. Database is now RUNNING - Update app connections to 10.0.20.37
🧪 Weekly Test (Every Saturday)
# Automatic at 06:00 via cron, or manual:
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "/opt/scripts/weekly-dr-test-proxmox.sh"
# What it does:
# ✓ Starts VM → Restores DB → Tests → Cleanup → Shutdown
# ✓ Sends email report with results
📊 Check Backup Health
# Manual check (runs daily at 09:00 automatically)
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "/opt/scripts/oracle-backup-monitor-proxmox.sh"
# Output:
# Status: OK
# FULL backup age: 11 hours ✓
# CUMULATIVE backup age: 2 hours ✓
# Disk usage: 45% ✓

🔧 Manual Operations
Test Individual Components
# 1. Test backup transfer (on PRIMARY)
D:\rman_backup\transfer_incremental.ps1
# 2. Test NFS mount (on VM 109)
mount -o rw,nolock,mtype=hard,timeout=60 10.0.20.202:/mnt/pve/oracle-backups F:
dir F:\ROA\autobackup
# 3. Test notification system
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "touch -d '2 days ago' /mnt/pve/oracle-backups/ROA/autobackup/*FULL*.BKP"
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "/opt/scripts/oracle-backup-monitor-proxmox.sh"
# Should send WARNING notification
# 4. Test database restore (on VM 109)
D:\oracle\scripts\rman_restore_from_zero.cmd
Force Actions
# Force backup now (on PRIMARY)
rman cmdfile=D:\rman_backup\rman_backup_incremental.txt
# Force cleanup VM (on VM 109)
D:\oracle\scripts\cleanup_database.cmd
# Force VM shutdown
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "qm stop 109"
🐛 Troubleshooting
❌ Backup Monitor Not Sending Alerts
# 1. Check templates exist
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "ls /usr/share/pve-manager/templates/default/oracle-*"
# 2. Reinstall templates
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "/opt/scripts/oracle-backup-monitor-proxmox.sh --install"
# 3. Check Proxmox notifications work
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "pvesh create /nodes/$(hostname)/apt/update"
# Should receive update notification
❌ F:\ Drive Not Accessible in VM
# On VM 109:
# 1. Check NFS Client service
Get-Service | Where {$_.Name -like "*NFS*"}
# 2. Manual mount
mount -o rw,nolock,mtype=hard,timeout=60 10.0.20.202:/mnt/pve/oracle-backups F:
# 3. Check Proxmox NFS server
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "showmount -e localhost"
# Should show: /mnt/pve/oracle-backups 10.0.20.37
❌ Restore Fails
# 1. Check backup files exist
dir F:\ROA\autobackup\*.BKP
# 2. Check Oracle service
sc query OracleServiceROA
# 3. Check PFILE exists
dir C:\Users\oracle\admin\ROA\pfile\initROA.ora
# 4. View restore log
type D:\oracle\logs\restore_from_zero.log
❌ VM Won't Start
# Check VM status
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "qm status 109"
# Check VM config
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "qm config 109 | grep -E 'memory|cores|bootdisk'"
# Force unlock if locked
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "qm unlock 109"
# Start with console
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "qm start 109 && qm terminal 109"

🚨 Disaster Recovery Procedure
When PRIMARY is DOWN:
-
Confirm PRIMARY is unreachable
ping 10.0.20.36 # Should fail -
Start DR VM
ssh root@10.0.20.202 "qm start 109" -
Wait for boot (3 minutes)
-
Connect to DR VM
ssh -p 22122 romfast@10.0.20.37 -
Run restore
D:\oracle\scripts\rman_restore_from_zero.cmd -
Verify database
sqlplus / as sysdba SELECT name, open_mode FROM v$database; -- Should show: ROA, READ WRITE -
Update application connections
- Change from: 10.0.20.36:1521/ROA
- Change to: 10.0.20.37:1521/ROA
-
Monitor DR system
- Database is now production
- Do NOT run cleanup!
- Keep VM running
