RE: rman implementation

Sai Are you planning to do a RMAN backup to disk and the disk is Netapp? We ran into a couple of hitches. If you are able to mount a tablespace on the Netapp device, you should be past the first thing we ran into. The other issue had to do with the fact that RMAN opens many connections to disk,

yes dennis.   this is what i am planning to do.   can you please mention the glitches and the parameters that have to be changed.   or some pointers from your implementaion which could be very useful.   thanks a lot saiDENNIS WILLIAMS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: SaiAre you planning to do a RMAN bac

RE: rman implementation

Sai - Several factors: - This was several years ago, so memory fades. - This was the sys admin's first go at NFS. - Got through the initial configuration issues, and the system was up and running. Then several months later I was trying to use the device for RMAN recovery. It would "hang" with

hi   can someone give me pointers on pros and cons of implementing rman with netapp filers.   any pointers,white papers,case study,implementation doc will be very helpful.   thanks sai

Re: RMAN implementation strategy

Why can't you just restore the data and put it on a new tape? Why do you have to an export to do this? Ruth - Original Message - To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 11:53 AM I want to add another point. After 7 years your tap

RE: RMAN implementation strategy

Yechiel - Excellent point. Even better, burn the exports on a CD, making several copies. We have started doing that for special year-end reports that need to be retained for long periods of time. Much cheaper than tapes as well.   Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: RMAN implementation strategy

I want to add another point. After 7 years your tapes can be unreadable. If you use exports you can periodically restore them and backup them to a new tape. Yechiel Adar Mehish - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 19,

RE: RMAN implementation strategy

Sean Yes, remember that the real reason you keep the RMAN catalog on another system is not for disaster recovery, but for normal recoveries. The worst situation is where you keep the catalog in the instance you are backing up. The second worst situation is where the recovery catalog is in a sep

Re: RMAN implementation strategy

I use one recovery catalog for all of the databases I backup. I do a cold backup of the recovery catalog database once a week. It is in archivelog mode and I backup the archived logs with the database. I keep my recovery catalog database on a separate disk. I don't have a separate machine. I

Re: RMAN implementation strategy

Sean, I wasn't able to put our catalog database on another server, so after backups I export the catalog database and ftp the .dmp file to another machine. As far as the 7 year requirement, can you export the relevant data and save the .dmp file on tape for 7 years? Your biggest issue will

RMAN implementation strategy

Hi Folks, We're planning to implement RMAN as part of our B&R solution and by extenstion also as part of our DR solution. I've been trying to locate information on how best to configure RMAN across our organisation. For example it's advised you place catalog on separate server to production s
