Thanks for reading this email & Thanks in Advance for your help. We are facing performance issue when trying to restore archive log files using RMAN catalog. Environment: Oracle Database: 10g (10.2.0.3) RAC Database Size: ~350 GB Archive Log Files per day: ~30 - 45 Archive Log File Size: 200MB NetBackup: 6.5 Backups: RMAN to VTL (Weekly Full, Daily Incremental) We restored 350 GB of database using RMAN catalog and it took around 6 Hrs which is very good. Most of the datafile sizes are around 30GB and some of the files are couple of GB. When we try to restore archive log (200MB) files using RMAN Catalog and it is taking approximately 15 Minutes for each file. If we bypass RMAN catalog by using backup information from controlfile, it takes approximately 2.5 Minutes to restore each archive log file. After working with backup team, we found out that approximately 12 Minutes time was spent for the hand shake between RMAN Catalog and Netbackup catalog. Did anyone of you have seen similar situation and what might be the problem? Have you done any kind of database maintenance work for RMAN repository database to improve performance?
