Title: RE: RMAN

    Lisa,

 

    There is no problem, simply create two catalogs - one for 816 another for 815, and then backup 815 DB using rman815 with 815 catalog,  but 816 - rman816+corresponding catalog. Never mix target database/rman/catalog version, though both catalogs could be created anywhere, even 7.0. Everything works fine. I think, you need new backups after upgrade - 815 and 816 will not be compartible. Could anyone correct me?

Aren't there problems though, if you're running different versions?  For example, we are running 8.1.6 and 8.1.5 database instances.  I had installed 8.1.6 RMAN, but it won't let me register the 8.1.5 version in the catalog.  Does anybody know of a workaround - short of upgrading our 8.1.5 database?

Thanks -
Lisa

        Hi, William,

        I used to have may rman backups since 8.0.5, and I could say, 8.1.6
makes a BIG difference. It is much more stable and worth to go, especially
if you have big/frequantly updated database. Even 8.1.5 is well behind
8.1.6. My preference is to have rman backup information in catalog rather
than controlfile. Anytime you can export it and restore to any database,
even on different platform. Works fine. My current configuration is 8.1.6 on
Solaris + NetBackup.

Hi,

    At one time, I had implemented RMAN in my 8.0 environment. It had some
bugs, so I went back to my old way of doing backups. Now that I have
upgraded to 8.1.6, I was thinking of re-implementing RMAN. But some of the
discussion here implies that there are still problems. Can someone elaborate
on all of this so we might make an informed decision?
