Verify your database server configuration
During a cold restore, you cannot set up shared memory, add chunks, or change tape devices. Thus, when you begin the restore, the current database server configuration must remain compatible with, and accommodate, all parameter values assigned after the time of the most recent backup.
For guidance, use the copies of the configuration
file that you create at the time of each backup. However, do not set
all current parameters to the same values as were recorded at the
last backup. Pay attention to the following three groups of parameters:
- Shared-memory parameters
- Mirroring parameters
- Device parameters
