Hi Ahmed,

There's a chapter on backing up Oracle RAC in NetBackup for Oracle Systems
Admin Guide. We backup only one node from our two node RAC setup and this is
how Vertias has recommended in their guide as well. This is an extract from
our RMAN script:

RUN {
debug io;
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch01 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS  'BLKSIZE=1048576'
MAXOPENFILES=20;
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch02 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS  'BLKSIZE=1048576'
MAXOPENFILES=20;
SEND 'NB_ORA_SERV=nbuserv,NB_ORA_CLIENT=orarac1';

Hope this helps. By the way our Oracle recovery catalogue is in another
Oracle DB.

Regards,
Khurram
