Item

Description

Media or Resource

Displays a list of media that is required for the restore, or the name of the resource that you selected for restore.

Media Location

Displays the location of the media. If the media is listed as offline or unknown, you must retrieve the media, select a device in the Restore Device or Media Server column, and then place the media in a device that the managed media server can access.

If the data that is selected for restore resides in a media vault, then Offline is displayed.

If the data that is selected for restore resides in an unknown media location, then Unknown is displayed because the media cannot be found in any of the compatible storage devices that are candidates to run the job.

Restore Device or Media Server

Displays the names of the devices or the media servers that are compatible with the media being restored, and that are possible candidates to process the restore job.

To support restoring from the central administration server when the device and media database is on the managed media server, all media servers, including the central administration server, are listed in this column.

Note:

When you restore an Oracle database in a CASO environment, you must use the managed media server that was used for the original database backup.
