Guys i am running Netbackup 6.0MP4 Solaris Master plus 3 x NB6.0MP4 SSO
Media servers which are running oracle RAC.

I have oracle policies set up for these and i initiate an oracle rman
script (written by dba's) which works out which media server is running
the oracle instance and launches its backup.

The dbas are now trying to do a restore as follows :-

a) Restore database configuration file [spfile]
b) Restore database control file
c) Restore database files.

a) & b) work fine and i can see on netbackup the control file being
restored.

The problem is step c) is not doing anything and the DBA is trying to
blame the backups or the config somewhere and i just can't see where a
problem is.

When hes trying to restore the database files i see no job on the job
monitor, and i don't even see any extra netstsat -a communications to
the media server from the master other than the ones which are running
as standard.

I cant see anything in messages on the master or media and am unclear
what other logs to look in.

Anyone know how i can prove its the dba rman restore script or if its
netbackup at all? Surely i'd see a job in the monitor or something??

Also he's asking about doing multiple restore channels at the same time
as he backs up using 4 channels. To me thats trying to do a simultaneous
multiplex restore is this possible???

Any help/pointers appreciated

Cheers
