Hi,
up until now I have only used RMAN and NetBackup very rarely due to database
version / network traffic etc etc. but now am trying to implement it on two
servers - the first to perform archive log backups and the second to perform
level0 and level1 backups if the whole database. I am having problems
concerning how to set-up the NetBackup Class schedules so that the backups
run correctly. After having read the NetBackup Adminguide 3.4 and various
posts to this list I am having varying amounts of success.
My problem is that when I start a backup from the NetBackup side (i.e.
change the schedule to Full Automatic / Cumulative / Differential rather
than just Backup Policy) the backup runs, but seems to produce 2 entries in
the Netbackup monitor. The first entry that appears has the correct Class
and Schedule by it, but seems not to backup any data. The second entry that
appears to backup data and has the correct Class, but the schedule is set to
Default Policy even though I am using the "send" command to specifically
select one. Changing the policy type to "Backup Policy" and then running an
.rcv script file from the appropriate server however produces only one entry
and works fine - BUT - due to it not using an "Automatic" policy, NetBackup
will not start it off automatically. How do I configure NetBackup / RMAN to
automatically perform the backup but only running the required Class /
Schedule and not starting a "Default Policy" therefore causing two entry's
to be displayed ?
Head of .rcv file
============================================================================

# Begin.
run {
# Assign backup device and required parameters.
allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE';
send 'NB_ORA_CLASS=PROD_CMS_daily_archivelog_backup,
NB_ORA_SCHED=daily_archivelog_backup, NB_ORA_SERV=dom1-y2k,
NB_ORA_CLIENT=dom6-y2k';
