Let's discuss how Zaffre can take advantage of the Live Mount option, which creates a new database from a point-in-time copy of the source database running on Rubrik storage, enabling DBAs and developers to provision test and development in just a few clicks without impacting production environments.
To get started on the restore operation, first, navigate to Inventory > All > Oracle Databases.
Navigate to ora12c-prod > orcl. Select the most recent day with green checks in the calendar.
Move the slider close to the last log time.
Click (...) ellipse and select Recover. On the pop-up, select Live Mount and then click NEXT.
Choose ora12c-dev as the compatible host.
Leave everything as default and click Live Mount.
Click EVENTS from the left middle panel. Verify on the Events page that the Live Mount operation has been completed.
NOTE: It takes about a minute for the Events page to show the Live Mount operation.
Navigate to Live Mounts from the top menu. Select Oracle Database. Ensure that orcl is listed as a live mount.
Double-click the Putty shortcut on the Desktop. Select ora12c-dev.rubrik.lab as the host and click Open.
On the SSH Window, log in with the following credentials:
Username: oracle
Password: oracle
Launch SQLPLUS by entering:

The output indicates data files hosted on the Rubrik Cluster.
Go back to Google Chrome, and on RSC, you should be on the Live Mounts page.
If not, navigate to Live Mounts from the top menu. Select Oracle Database. Select (...) ellipse at the right end and select unmount.
From the pop-up, check the Force unmount and select UNMOUNT to start the unmount process.
Navigate to Events from the top menu. Verify that the unmount is successful.
Rubrik’s Live Mount extends beyond recovery use cases. The feature also enables easy, accelerated test/dev without impacting production.
