Hi,
I run Oracle RAC environemnt 11g2 NBU 7.6
Im having 2 problems takes me alot of time.
1,
I backup on node2
RUN {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00
TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch01
TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
SEND 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=pe-pub2,NB_ORA_SID=pub,NB_ORA_POLICY=oradb,NB_ORA_SERV=poc1.lab.svtech';
BACKUP
AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET
$BACKUP_TYPE
FORMAT 'bk_pub%u_s%s_p%p_t%t'
DATABASE;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch00;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch01;
Then only Node2 can see the backupset in RMAN, while node1 see the backupset as EXPIRE state.
Node1

- Any configuration to help Node1 can see above backupset?
2 - In RAC Backup scenerio, with load-balance and failover VIP exist, I configure a script on 2 nodes
3> ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS='ENV=(NB_ORA_CLIENT=pe-pub1-vip)' CONNECT='sys/oracle@pub1';
4> ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch01 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS='ENV=(NB_ORA_CLIENT=pe-pub2-vip)' CONNECT='sys/oracle@pub2';
In node1, I set ORACLE_SID=pub1 and Node2 ORACLE_SID=pub2
Then I can run backup script from node1 or node2. Then I can restore OK.
However, in policy, client I set is pe-pub1-vip and pe-pub2-vip. When I run policy from NBU Master It executes 2 jobs. If I remove pe-pub2-vip from client, the jobs from pe-pub2-vip failed with "NULL" status.
As I understand in best practices for Oracle RAC, Option 1 should be set only pe-pub1-vip in client. Option 2 is edit the script according to each database instances, so that 2 scripts would launch on 2 nodes but 1 will stop and 1 will run.
I want to ask what steps to configure avoid this policy problem?
Thank you.
