How long does it take to do a backup spfile command to disk?
We had problems recently on a couple of servers where the RMAN backup was never 
finishing and indeed was timing out. Tracing just showed a controlfile enqueue 
(IIRC).
However  the issue was corrected by identifying a couple of rogue processes 
which were consuming excessive cpu.

The simple test for us was rman target / followed by backup spfile;

Subject: RMAN Restore Archivelog Files -- Very Slow

Thanks for reading this email & Thanks in Advance for your help.

We are facing performance issue when trying to restore archive log files using 
RMAN catalog.

Environment:
Oracle Database: 10g (10.2.0.3) RAC
Database Size: ~350 GB
Archive Log Files per day: ~30 - 45
Archive Log File Size: 200MB
NetBackup: 6.5
Backups: RMAN to VTL (Weekly Full, Daily Incremental)

We restored 350 GB of database using RMAN catalog and it took around 6 Hrs 
which is very good. Most of the datafile sizes are around 30GB and some of the 
files are couple of GB.

When we try to restore archive log (200MB) files using RMAN Catalog and it is 
taking approximately 15 Minutes for each file. If we bypass RMAN catalog by 
using backup information from controlfile, it takes approximately 2.5 Minutes 
to restore each archive log file. After working with backup team, we found out 
that approximately 12 Minutes time was spent for the hand shake between RMAN 
Catalog and Netbackup catalog.

Did anyone of you have seen similar situation and what might be the problem? 
Have you done any kind of database maintenance work for RMAN repository 
database to improve performance?

Thanks,
Rama
