You back up a database, not a cluster, and the one
RAC database is on two servers. You only need to have one media
server and you can run the backups through that one server.
If you intend to have more than one media server, you'd
have to figure a way to divide the database tables of the single instance across
two servers and the admin of that would probably be too much hassle. If
you've got one instance on two server, just ignore the other server for backup
purposes.
My $.02, at least.

Hi, I am configuring a 2 node VCS cluster for backup and i would like to
know the recommendations for doing this. Both nodes will have access to a
virtual tape library which is san connected. The cluster is running Oracle
RAC.
I have installed the media server software on each node of the cluster and
used the physical node name during the install. I want to back up each node
directly to the virtual tape library.
DO i need to run the cluster_config script? I do not necessarily want
Veritas to manage media server failover between the nodes as this is an
active/active cluster.
Should i configure each node of the cluster as though it were an
independent SAN media server?
Thanks for any advice!
