RMAN Images are missing in the catalog
RMAN Images are missing in the catalog
Our DBA's even start the Oracle restores and it also works for years.
Now I have a very strange case.
Our DBA's store the RMAN backups in their Oracle RMA...
Thomas,
the Recovery Catalog from Oracle (RMAN Catalog or even the controlfile) and Netbackup Catalog are 2 separate repositories and usally have to keep in sync.
Therefore a maintainance operation should be run on the Oracle Side (CROSSCHECK, DELETE OBSOLTE, ...) at least every day.
Is that the case at your site. Does the database admin did some maintainance commands. If yes (and he did a DELETE OBSOLTE e.g. ) RMAN will delete the files even on the Netbackup Side (netbackup images).
If the DBA restores an old Recovery Catalog it will not help, because the backup pieces are already gone on the Netbackup side and the entries in the RMAN cataog points to nowhere.
Possibly the is the case at your side.
Regards
Marko
