hello,
10.2.0.2
Redhat 4
archivelog mode
i am creating a backup script to do the following:
backup database to recovery area
backup recovery area to disk
if backup to disk succeeds, remove previous days backupset and
archivelogs older than 7 days.
we do not have licenses to the mml for veritas (the tape system we use)
so we have to manage the backup to tape ourselves.
therefore, once i backup the files to disk, i need to manually delete
them and let rman know that those files are no longer on disk so it
doesn't think the recovery area is full. the commands that i thought
would notify oracle of the newly freed space in the recovery area are
'crosscheck backup' and 'crosscheck archivelog all'. however, after
running those commands,
select round((space_limit - space_used)/1024/1024/1024) as gb from
v$recovery_file_dest;
...does not change at all.
anybody know what i need to do?
thanks!
chris
