Folks, thankyou for all the information on this so far.  It sounds like what
we are getting has also been encountered by others and that what is
occurring is a "funny" in NetBackup's file naming and/or the information it
gets from RMAN, and that despite the naming the restore capability should be
OK.

I have not yet had a chance to trace through here exactly what we are
getting but if you take this discussion offline could you keep me in the
loop?  Also if I find out anything to add to the discussion I will post it
back to the list.

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] RMAN / Oracle Backup Query



Penelope,

The backups did work (as stated in previous mail restored okay), but
Netbackup was not reporting correctly - my original problem was that I
needed to identify what tapes were used by a particular class, and
bpimagelist -U (snippet from my script)

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpimagelist -U -hoursago $HOURSAGO |  \
awk '{ print $9}' | grep "_E$" | sort | uniq >> $LOGDIR/classlist  ### grep
"_E$" - classes for offsite are postfixed _E
 for CLASS_NAME in `cat $LOGDIR/classlist`
do
        for MEDIAID in `/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpimagelist
-media -idonly -class $CLASS_NAME -hoursago $HOURSAGO `

did not find any media for this class (CCDMWHRT)

I thought this was a bug with Netbackup, but after a long investigation
turned out to be a RMAN oracle issue.

Martin should be able to answer your queries.

If you require further information we can take this debate offline.
