I feel sorry for you, but misery loves company :=)
4GB database full backup using RMAN takes over 6 hours to NFS.
Off the tangent now.
dumpfile=migration_wh%U.dmp <== important since this was the mistake I made
before.
PARALLEL=12
Hopefully, it's that easy. Otherwise, there are several articles on configuring
NFS for use with Oracle.

The database is Enterprise Edition.
I've tried the export with parallel=2, parallel=4 and parallel=6 and
all take about the
same amount of time. I also set the database parameters
parallel_min_servers and
parallel_max_servers to 6 and 12, respectively. I see the processes
start up in the
database at the beginning of the export, but I didn't check to see how
many were
still running when the export was done with everything but these last
2 tables. I've
just been watching the dump files...only 2 are being written to at the end.
I do believe that both of these tables have a lob column. Does that
mean I just have
to live with the 7.5 hours? At least the import to the new machine
only takes about
1.5 hours.
I'm also excluding indexes/constraints for the export and import.
I'm pretty sure I read through the checklist document, but not the
other 2. I'll
check them out.
Thanks!
