Hi Simon

I appreciate every bit of advice at this point in time.

I have used NOSM in the past where the media server is backing up itself. In this case the client (Linux) is backed up over the network to a media server (Solaris).

Kind regards

Marianne

Hi Marianne

Not sure if this helps...

Pretty sure the creation of a NOSHM file helped.

 Hi all

We have Oracle rman backups failing with Network Connect Timeout.

Filesystem backups are working fine.

Weird thing is we can see in Job details 'Connecting, Connected':

02/12/2008 10:32:29 - connecting

02/12/2008 10:32:40 - connected; connect time: 0:00:00

02/12/2008 10:32:40 - begin writing

02/12/2008 11:32:41 - end writing; write time: 1:00:01

network connection timed out (41)

Handshaking in bpcd on client and bpbrm on media server is successful.

I have now increased Client Read Timeout to 7200. Backup 'Active' for 1 hr 54 minutes already – still not a single byte written….

Backups on this client have been successful till about 3 weeks ago. NetBackup 6.0 MP4 on server and client.

RMAN backups on the client to local disk start writing almost immediately.

RMAN log on client :

ORA-19511: Error received from media manager layer, error text:

   VxBSACreateObject: Failed with error:

   Server Status:  Communication with the server has not been initiated or the server status has not been retrieved from the server.

PLEASE HELP!!

Regards

Marianne
