How to duplicate oracle database in multiple channels? [message #667668] Wed, 10 January 2018 02:45 Go to next message

I saw on the internet, some oracle duplication commands used multi channels:

using channel ORA_AUX_DISK_1
using channel ORA_AUX_DISK_2
using channel ORA_AUX_DISK_3
using channel ORA_AUX_DISK_4

However, when I perform duplication, the rman uses only one channel ORA_AUX_DISK_1. And the performance is very bad. Please tell me how to configure rman when backup to use multi channels to improve duplication performance when duplication. (I duplicate oracle database without target connection.)

Thanks.

I am sorry about the bad format. The four lines above are the duplication log I get from the Internet. I wonder why they can do it but I can not.

So do as Michael asked: Post your entire script and the entire run log from executing your script. We're not interested in some snippet you found on the internet to incorporate into your script. We need to see YOUR script. In its entirety. Formatted.

You can notice that my duplication process uses only one channel ORA_AUX_DISK_1. So my question is: what do I have to configure rman backup so that when I duplicate database, It will use multi channels.

then you didn't show your full script. Where are the channel allocation commands you referred to in your opening post? You will recall I said " We need to see YOUR script. In its entirety. Formatted." Perhaps I also needed to emphasize "In its entirety". You didn't show the script, you showed one single command from it. Can you debug code you cannot see? Neither can anyone else.

Before DUPLICATE, rman starts nomount instance, so we cannot use the configure command above.

So do it BEFORE shutting down the database!

By the way, why did you shut it down?

However, there is no point because your entire backup is in one backup set. So you can't parallelize anything.

OK, I will backup using multi channels and there will be multi backup sets.
By the way, can we configure automatic multi channels for duplication?

But the OP stated he was allocating multiple channels, which would have required more to the script than the single DUPLICATE command.

You can configure and "configure automatic multi channels" only if you are connected to the TARGET (in RMAN meaning, source in the common meaning).

Yes, I already connected to the target, but It can not help, the error message is the same.

OK, I use the statement below to connect to both auxiliary and target database:

$ rman auxiliary / target sys@vbcms_pri

and finally I can duplicate database using automatic multi channels.
Thanks.
