Mark, 

The automatic policies always kick off at least two jobs.  One is the "driver" 
job and the rest are the pieces.  (We get hundreds of pieces on some of our 
large RMAN backups.)  

If you look in the file list, on the "driver" job (the one with the correct 
policy), you will see the script that you put in the class.  On all the other 
jobs (the default_policy), you will see the fileset name (i.e. 
/bk_4472_1_507521046, or, for the archive logs, a file beginning with /al).

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Veritas NetBackup 3.4 / RMAN 8.1.7


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'; ... .. .. }
