OIP on single RAC node in Netbackup 7.6 for oracle

Peaches_K

As per oracle admin guide - Netbackup 7.7, we can use OIP for a single RAC node using Netbackup 7.7 (Page 220 in Oracle Admin guide for Netbackup 7.7)

There is no mention of this in Netbackup 7.6 Oracle admin guide.

Our backup environment is at 7.6.1.2. We would like to implement OIP for a single RAC node. Can we do this in 7.6 or should we upgrade to 7.7 for this.

https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH225987  --> this technote says it is possible for 7.6 and above, but this section is not present in Netbackup 7.6 oracle admin guide.

Can you Please advise on this.

Tech notes can be consider a addendum to the manual, so they are safe to follow.

However, Netbackup 7.6 runs out of support February 2017, so why not plan a upgrade now.

Thanks Nicolai, we are expecting a go ahead for upgrade soon.

Is it advisable to use OIP on a singe RAC node. Oracle team is having trouble with restores both on 7.6  and 7.7 (test backup environment in 7.7).

Is it better to go for scripts for RAC instead of OIP.

You can use OIP, just make sure you address the database as a single instance. Make sure there is no load balancing configure in RMAN. All the streams must be generated from the single node.

Oracle team is having trouble with restores both on 7.6  and 7.7...

What kind of issues?

Maybe share details in a new discussion so that we can try to assist?

Ensure that these log folders exist before next restore attempt:

On master : bprd (restart NBU after creating this folder)

On media server: bptm and bpbrm

On Oracle client: bpcd and dbclient (dbclient must have 777 permissions)

Thanks Marianne, Riaan and Nicolai. During their past restore tests, restore stream would never show up in Netbackup. I don't know what errors were seen from Oracle end. They may start some restore tests again in 7.6.  

 

Thanks for your comments.

That might be because it got generated on the other node and not the one netbackupe expects to see it on.

Thanks Riaan, I will pass this input to Oracle team.
