Hi Peter, my problem is on backup, not restore.. I have successfully tried to backup directly to tape using multiple channels, but this is not what i want. (each node on RAC' instances have local tape) I need to backup existing backupset in disk to tape. Because currently my backupset are located in each instances, command 'backup backupset' does not work as i post before. regards, tomi --- Peter Gram <peter.gram@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Tomi > > The problem is not in Rman, bur in the software from > the tapestation, it > will register the IP or Node name the Rman backupset > was generated and when > Rman then try to restore the backupset from the > other node it will fail. > The way to fix this is to use a virtual IP / node > when you backup and > restore > with Rman, the virtual node is normaly configered in > a env varible or a > config > file for the backup software. > > /peter > > tomi wijanto wrote: > > >Hi All, > > > >I have procedure to backup RAC database using > multiple > >channels to disk (each channel for different > >instance). > >Now, i try to backup backupset to tape, but failed. > >If i connect to first instance, rman said that it > >cannot find backupset that actually located in > second > >instance's node. > >I'm using oracle 9.2.0.3, ibm tivoli. > > > >The rman backup backupset command is like this: > > > >run { > >allocate channel sbt_tape_1 type 'sbt_tape' > >connect='user/pwd@node1' parms > >'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo.opt)'; > >allocate channel sbt_tape_2 type 'sbt_tape' > >connect='user/pwd@node2' parms > >'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo.opt)'; > >backup backupset completed after 'sysdate-1'; > >} > > > >The questions are: > >- Is there any limitation of 'backup backupset' to > >spread over multiple instances in RAC? > >- If so, should i only backup from one node to > disk? > >(i spread them because backup of database from > >multiple instances is faster than single instance) > > > >regards, > >tomi __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
