RE: Restoring RMAN backups to different host ......solved

Dear List,

Thanks for all those who replied.

One of my collegue helped me in resolving the issue yesterday. Iam using Veritas Netbackup software. If I set the UNIX env variable NB_ORA_CLIENT=host_A and also in RMAN script parms, then it is restoring the backups from host_A.

run {
allocate channel ch1 type 'sbt_tape';
restore controlfile parms="ENV=(NB_ORA_CLIENT=host_A; export NB_ORA_CLIENT)";
}

I also set CLIENT_NAME=host_A in /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file. As per Netbackup manual, this should work, but not sure why it is not working unless I set NB_ORA_CLIENT.

Thanks,
-- Babu

Janardhana Babu Donga,

        hi, which backup software are u using? as far as i know, you must setup something in the second node so that MML software can THINK it is the node that is backed up, so it can restore back.
