Does anyone have script to perform backup of a Db in noarchivelog mode in a 10.2 RAC environment. I tried using the regular script which shuts down the DB and then puts the DB in mount mode to do backup. But I get problems with services in the DB and not able to connect when the DB comes up in mount mode. I tried using "shutdown immediate; startup mount; backup" method in rman. That did not work. I tried stopping the DB and then starting it in mount mode using srvctl, that did not work either. This is a two node DB with one instance disabled, so we work out of one instance. The services are configured to automatically come up when the instance comes up using StartSRVonUp.pl. -- Thanks, Ram.
