About Oracle support for Replication Director
Replication Director can be used to create snapshots of the Oracle database and replicate the snapshots to other NetApp disk arrays. To use Replication Director, the Oracle database must exist on a NetApp NAS disk array. (It is not supported on SAN storage at this time.)
Oracle snapshot backups that use Replication Director are supported on UNIX platforms only.
The administrator can create an Oracle policy to use Replication Director by using either the following methods:
The Oracle Intelligent Policy (recommended).
See Configuring an Oracle Intelligent Policy using Replication Director.
Create a script-based Oracle policy.
Table: Differences in Oracle snapshot policy setup describes the differences between the two methods:

Configuration | Oracle Intelligent Policy | Script-based Oracle policy |

Scripts |

Schedules | The administrator configures only one schedule that backs up all parts of the database and sets the correct retention automatically. The Archived Redo Log schedule is not supported with a snapshot backup. | The administrator must configure two schedules with two retentions:
The Archived Redo Log schedule is available with a configured script. |
Backups | User-directed backups are not supported. To attempt a user-directed backup (results in a status 240 (no schedules of the correct type exist in this policy). | User-directed backups are supported. |
Load balancing | RAC load balancing is not supported. | RAC load balancing is supported. |
