[Veritas-bu] RMAN Recovery issue and Netbackup 7.1.0.2

OK...please help me out here if you can. Client RMAN backup ran on client server corvette via master server stingray. Tapes were removed and shipped to another location for RMAN recovery. Backup was done via allocating 6 channels. Recovery is only using 3 channels. Why? All boxes are Netbackup

Number of channels is controlled by the script file on the Oracle DB server. I would expect that this needs to be edited on your recovery server. On Fri, Dec 13, 2013 at 8:46 AM, Dennis Peacock nbu-fo...@backupcentral.com wrote: OK...please help me out here if you can. Client RMAN backup

It's been several years since I've had tape, but it sounds to me like the DBA has done everything correctly for 6 channels. The problem, if you can call it a problem, is that the backup server (media server) has only or is allowed only 3 tape drives for the restore. On the other hand, perhaps

RMAN backup was 35TB across 40 tapes. Backup is claimed to have used 6 streams. All masters clients/media servers and oracle instances share the same RMAN catalog. This is a disaster recovery of a 35 TB database from one master backup solution/client to another. Tapes shipped from my location

This sounds like your issue here: 3 streams running. 3 streams waiting on tapes that are in the 3 active streams. Unless I read that wrong, your 6 streams are on the same tapes. That means that only one stream from each tape is going to be restored. Once your other streams complete, these should

Well...my initial analysis for the DBA was that RMAN was allocating 6 channels but 3 active streams were spinning tapes and the 3 waiting streams were waiting on tapes that were currently being restored from. This didn't make the DBA happy and wanted all 6 streams to be streaming data.

So...please allow me to ask another question. 6 channels allocated for the recovery (rman). If it's only using 3 streams actively now...and it gets past one stream waiting on another, will it every get to using 6 streams? How does RMAN deal with that?

Hi, Part of the problem in this scenario is if multiplexing is not being used (or MPX=1), depending on how the RMAN restore works (make sure there are 6 channels allocated from the DBA perspective) and since there are 6 jobs in the activity monitor, it sounds like that is already in-place. The
