Hi Richard,

Oracle DB backup was launched with several sessions to TSM Stgpool. If this 
pool is disk and TSM migrated to tape the info, TSM migrated the data from disk 
to a tape node by node . Another possibility is if you are using collacation 
group. In case, TSM ran backup stgpool from Oracle Stgpool data to CopyPool, 
TSM is backing up in a sequencial way the data from primary to copy pool. 

 Regards,

Fran

Asunto: Oracle RMAN Restore Behaviour

Hi *,

We have one large Oracle database ( 600Gb ) which is backed up nihgly using 8 
threads in about 2 hours. We have a dedicated storage pool for this one 
database. When it comes times for DR, we restore the storage pool and then have 
the DBA restore the database. However, whenever the DBA tries to initiate the 
restore using multiple threads, the restore defaults to one instead of 
launching several as would be expected. Number of mount points are correct on 
the server and dsm config . Why is this occurring ?
