What do your RMAN logs say? How about the dbclient log? I recently ran
a DR test and had tons of errors related to Oracle restores / RMAN.
Turns out some of our RMAN scripts weren't backing up all the log files
they needed to. In Oracle on Windows, I found an issue where changing
the "client name" required that you uninstall / reinstall the client
before it would successfully restore the files. Further, the DBAs had
to run some sort of database consistency check versus the standby to
synch up which images were available. If you can verify the images I
doubt its a tape related / Netbackup problem.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Rman fails to restore- Netbackup 5.1 MP5
I have just completed a failed DR Drill due to Rmans inability to
Restore Along with Netbackup.
My Prod Environments is
Master Server Sol 10, U3, T2000 Running Netbackup 5.1 MP5. HP LTO3
Media, Fiber Attached.
4 Media Servers.
DR Environment was very similer exect Solar10 U4, Qlogic cards and we
only utilize 1 other media server.
ALL of my my restores completed with the Exception of Rman. We could
not Rman to properly restore from Tape.
I had error messages of 5, 86, 6 etc.
I thought maybe size db buffers etc might be causing the issue, but
ruled this out as my other OS backups completed.
Sometimes teh Backups would make it into the Gui, sometimes not.
Log files show that it would mount, but then had issues reading the data
from tape.
I was able to run the Verify on the image, import the image, deport the
image etc, but could not to save my life, get it to restore.
I have a Master and Media Server. My media server is running Sol9.
I used the Force media restore in bp.conf to push restores to the media
server only, then to the master to see if 1 would work. Neither did.
I am at wits end with this. Anyone have any ideas or similer
experiences?
Thanks
Chris
