Re: Netbackup on a RAC

You didn't provide any requirements so it's not really possible to judge.
RAC and Netbackup is not enough. This can only give two answers - it
works or it doesn't.

What you quoted looks like some random rumbling... I kind of see
someone is trying to make few points there and even reserve the right
to say later that it's all your fault and you've been warned - "save
this email so we can all remember that this was mentioned".

Whatever someone tried to say - you can interpret it in any way you
like and won't be too far from it.

Got this info from our NetBackup person. I'm not sure how much is true or
not. Looking for tips and suggestions.



The database is 10G on some large IBM AIX servers. I think P595, but not
positive.

From our NetBackup guy.

Please hear me on this.

Implement large databases requiring backup on standalone servers.  Do not
use a shared or LPAR environment.

An effective backup of a large database requires access to either a
dedicated offnet NIC or a tape attached HBA.

Right now, we have a project which is having to reinstall to another server
since they implemented on a shared IO environment.

This database has been quoted to me as 30g.  If RAC/AIX/LPAR is feasible at
all at our software level (enquiry has been submitted to the vendor), that
doesnt sound too bad.

IF this is QA and there is a larger Prod component planned, or any other
project planned with a large database,  don t implement it this way.  Use a
standalone server.

I will save this email so we can all remember that this was mentioned.
