    RMAN script for RAC backup

    Gurus

    Can someone point me to where I can obtain a RMAN script to backup
    a Oracle 9.0.1 RAC system running on windows 2000 with database
    files on RAW drives. I can't find any from metalink.

    Thanks,

    Roukie

    Pardon me for my RAC ignorance, but why would an RMAN backup be any different for a two-node instance than a single node instance?

    That's what I don't understand myself, hence my name - ROUKIE_DBA!!! So you mean a single-node RMAN would work just fine too...perhaps with some minor mods, right?

    Thanks!

    I agree, its just one Database ( files ) that are being serviced by multiple boxes with memory and cpu's.....

    Every box sees the whole Database...

    Riddle me this, how many sets of archive logs are there in a 2 node
    cluster?

    here is what an rman script looks like for archive logs

    run
    {
    allocate channel c1 type disk connect sys/pwd@db1;
    allocate channel c2 type disk connect sys/pwd@db2;
    backup
    (archivelog like 'e:\oracle\backups\arch_log%' delete input channel c1)
    (archivelog like 'e:\oracle\backups\arch_log%' delete input channel c2)
    }


    also you have things like node affinity and crap like that but the most noticeable differnce I have seen is backuping up multiple sets of arch logs

    roukie give it the ol'college try and search metalink for 'ops rman' or 'racrman' and of course look at the docs for rac. If you get stuck i'll email you the scripts I have used for rac and ops before.

    Why have you allocated two channels? You backup to only one disk drive.

    each instance has it's own set of archive logs,
    allocating the channel tells us to connect to instance X on channel X
    and then backup those particular logs

    In our environment we use OFS and backup is managed by VERITAS i.e at a time only one node will have access to the shared resources.on both the nodes u have your backup scripts and what ever the node is active it will take care of the backup.Here is the sample RMAN script.

    RUN {
    echo ALLOCATE CHANNEL "ch00" TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' %ALLOC1%;
    echo ALLOCATE CHANNEL "ch01" TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' %ALLOC1%;
    echo BACKUP
    echo %BACKUP_TYPE%
    echo FORMAT 'bk_u%%u_s%%s_p%%p_t%%t'
    echo DATABASE;
    echo RELEASE CHANNEL "ch00";
    echo RELEASE CHANNEL "ch01";
    echo # Backup all archive logs
    echo ALLOCATE CHANNEL "ch00" TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' %ALLOC1%;
    echo sql 'alter system archive log current';
    echo BACKUP
    echo FILESPERSET 150
    echo FORMAT 'arch-s%%s-p%%p'
    echo ARCHIVELOG ALL %DELETE_STR%;
    echo RELEASE CHANNEL "ch00";

    }
