Mladen - I am curious about your disaster recovery test. I am in the process of implementing RMAN here, but management says I must continue to do cold backups until I can successfully perform a disaster recovery test using RMAN. I can't argue the point. In a realistic sense, in a real disaster, our hardware vendors have promised to make a somewhat similar system available to us. I've been trying to decide what a reasonable disaster recovery test would involve. Any insights would be appreciated. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I do advise you to check whether the file is in the backup mode. That is a frequent cause of alarm, usually caused by a combination of a backup script and system reboot (either crash or negligence). Trust me, I did recovery more then once. The company that I work for has so-called DR tests at Comdisco in NJ once a year. There we fully recover our systems, just as if a disaster has taken place. Our configuration is 4 HP 9000/N systems with EMC and Hyperfabric, of course with OPS. The plan is to transition to RAC within a year. -- Mladen Gogala -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Mladen Gogala INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
