Yeah the client just backs up local drives. I haven't tried the multiple streams on it yet, but i have tried disabling OTM and it now seems to be working. So...as im a unix engineer what is the importance of OTM running? I thought it was so it could backup open files. By disabling it does it mean

Hi Adam, i know it's to late, but if your problem still exists try to install the 6.0_MP4 and the MP4_NDMP Package. It solved the problem in my case. My config is NB Master: Solaris 9, NB @ MP4 NDMP host: NetApp Filer with OnTap 7.0.4 Regards,

I have dealt with numerous vendors and support. Like all vendors, who you get on the other line makes a huge difference as to the type of support you receive. i.e. I actually have received better Red Hat Linux support from HP versus directly from Red Hat. But in that same example I have had

Just my £.02 worth. Unless it is absolutely critical, in which case I will ask to be transferred immediately, I send an email from their web site. This does many things: 1) They get my email address right (unless I type it wrong) :-( 2) They send an automated response that they

The one time I tried e-mail support using the form on their web page, I got an undeliverable response. I told our sales rep about it (this was an administrative issue rather than a technical one so I mistakenly thought our sales rep might 1 care and 2 be helpful) and she just told me to call.

Ana, I would not make the virtual server dependent on the backup IP resource. In fact, I would make sure that the backup IP and NIC do not cause the cluster group to fail over. This gives you the ability to make changes on the backup net without impacting your production side, and protects your

Here we use the public for some backups and the backup lan for others. We don't put the IPs for the backup LAN in DNS - we just add it to the /etc/hosts file on the master or media server we use as the host for backups. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

You said: 4 - The default scripts are terrible, and while all this customization is possible you really have to dive in and learn everything about how RMAN and NBU communicate to make this happen. As far as I am concerned RMAN telling NBU which policy and schedule to use should be STANDARD. Are

The one problem with the wizard architecture (at least, last that I checked), is that one script needs to be maintained for each SID. Make that two, if your backup strategy includes hot and cold backups. Factor in potential differences in parallelism on databases which reside on faster disk,
