Oracle Restore

We are restoring an oracle rac to a new oracle rac in the DR.

Trying to bplist the images of the production RAC results in an no entity was found when i try to list from anywhere but the Production RAC nodes

No.Restrictions file is created under /usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames/

i can bplist any other workload but cannot list the oracle

    Hello,

    If it is a RAC-aware backup configured through the webUI console, dont use hostname as a client name in the bplist. Use something like this instead:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bplist -PI -C <DBNAME>_<DBID> -t 4 -l -R /c-*

    Regards

    You are getting a "no entity was found" message when using bplist? And you say you want to restore to the very same host? That's strange.

    Hi Aboualam,

    I´m having the same problem you had, could you share the procedure to restore ORACLE RAC Database to the same host??

    As far as I know I have to do the following;

    1. Use bplist to find the control file
    2. Recover the control file
    3. Restore/Recover the database.

    I´m trying to find examples using ORACLE RAC but there is not much information about this. I'll be very thankful

    We have a Flex Appliance with the primary, media and worm created on it

    i tried also to do a chmod 777 on both the altnames and norestrictions file but with the same result
