My boss is pressuring me to go to 7.3.x.  (All Windows 2003 servers).  He's 
heard great things about it (all from EMC of course).  Yeah yeah blah blah.  We 
have 2 large environments and over 40 small ones.   Apart from the usual client 
backups, we use RMAN, NDMP for our Celerras (non-NDMP devices), Exchange, DDS, 
both dedicated and non-dedicates storage nodes, and are planning on Powersnap 
soon.

I've been able to forestall him by relating the comments I've heard here for 
7.3 and 7.3.1, and I've seen the emails for the following problems on 7.3.2:

        1. nsrauth problems (?)

        2. savepnpc post command problems  (This will be a pain)

        3. GUI problems (Unacceptable) 

        4. drive target sessions problems.  This will break our business case 
requirements!!

        5. major media index problems.  Will I get more XCHK errors than I get 
now?

        6. loss of command line functionality.  Will this break my scripts that 
use mminfo, nsradmin, nsrjb (relabeling and setting 'full') etc?  



Any other biggies?

Is 7.4 due out Q107??  Is there an obsolescence date for 7.2?

Hi James.
 
As I understand it you want to make a restore to a new path and keep your 
original database. Correct?
You want to do a couple of things:
1. Use a separate instance for the restore.
2. In the Rman script use duplicate (with the db in startup nomount) instead of 
restore, this way you wont reset this clients rman database entries for archive 
loggning on the backupserver (recover do reset). Duplicate is very handy and 
can also be used for the actual restore if you want.
 
regards

Ämne: [Networker] Oracle recovery to another path



We are attempting to do an Oracle (9) restore to another path on the same 
server  so we do not overwrite the original data, but we are having problems. 
When run manually from the command line we are receiving an rman 600 error. 
Oracle is running on HPUX11 and so is the backup server.
Networker is 7.x but the problem does seem to be Legato but rather the oracle 
rman script.
