Hardware Description: The System platform consist of two Oracle/SUN M8000 servers divided into multiple domains that support the Interchange environment. The system is a client/server application running an Oracle database. The data is stored on a Hitachi SAN in the Oracle Database
Software Description: The software is a custom application written by HP utilizing an Oracle database to store the data
System Location: The physical location of the system is at the State Data Center operated by the Office for Information Resources here at the State.
Backup Procedures: The data is stored on two Data Domain DDR appliances. In addition to the DDR storage the data is also written daily to LTO4 data tapes on an L700 Sun Tape Library. The tapes are moved off site daily to an Iron Mountain facility
Disaster Recovery: During normal operations the system would be restored utilizing the Netbackup catalog and tape. The last full backup would be restored and then RMAN would read in the redo logs to bring the database up to the last point in time. If the location was breached the system would be recovered at the companion State Data Center via block level replication at the SAN level between the two facilities
Data Migration Description: TennCare has the capability to migrate data via three different types of technology:the Data Domain Appliance,LTO4 tape or block level replication to another SAN.
Metadata Description: The Oracle relational database keeps metadata in two areas: the data dictionary tables and a metadata registry. The type and length and format are variable types depending upon the object in question
