Well, do not forget if you are using RMAN with control files and no
separate catalog.

RMAN is a (special) database application which has sessions like any
other database application... So either trace the session if you want to
know the answer in minutes, or run snapper on RMAN sessions if you want
to know the answer in seconds... (or write a query against ASH if you've
got the licenses)

Good day, list,

 

What would cause an RMAN catalog operation to last a relatively eternal
128 seconds?

 

The stats I have collected so far:

*       Sun T5440
*       256 virtual processors at 1.414MHz
*       128gb ram (76gb swap - I know... I didn't set it up)
*       65 databases
*       Truss shows a lot of parking and sleeping, but not much else.
*       Trace event 10046 is similarly not giving me much help.
*       Running an RMAN 10.2.0.2 Duplicate command on a database with
164 datafiles.
*       Controlfile is 22mb with a keep time of 7 days.
