Hi guys,

              I was wondering what advice you had on limiting and
organizing DBs into different RMAN schemas.

            We've got a client with lots of DBs, who wants to move more
to RMAN.

 

Unfortunately not everyone is proficient in RMAN to start with (I got
elevated to #2 in proficiency, but don't be excited about that)

And we've had several cases where a DB was cloned and the DBID wasn't
changed.

So I got to fix the Incarnations.

 

    We've also had problems where a DB was upgraded to 10G but the
schema wasn't etc., etc.

 

    We've got 3 different RMAN catalog databases.  All 9.2.0.4-6

    Some have schemas with as many as 30 DBs being maintained.

    The DBs range from 8.1.6 to 10.2.0.3

 

    We've had a number of performance issues and earlier someone had
split all the SAP DBs into their own.

There's at least a dozen of those.  The other schemas are generally
divided into specific releases and prod/dev/test. 

 

    I've been thinking about not using catalogs for the dev & test DBs
and just sticking with the control files.

 

    We want to create another RMAN DB and I thought we might as well go
to 11G, but everyone is very leery about that.

I did like the new import feature in 11G.

 

    

    Suggestions and warnings welcome.

  Do have a copy of Note: 247611.1 Known RMAN Performance Problems

 

    

    TIA
