RE: RMAN on NT

Robert, I am scanning through your book now for the tape write error code and I don't see it. I look at the documentation

           and I cant tell which will arise due to the bad tape error. I am on the tail end of implementing RMAN on HP and

           trying to write some tolerance into the media write problems.  

            When veritas hits a bad spot on the tape an Rman error comes out for it...but I have some difficulty

            duplicating that error for a number of reasons.  

           Do you know what RMAN error code gets generated for the bad spot write error on the tape? It usually fixes

           it self so I want to code some tolerance for this error and the unix guys like me to mark the tape bad etc.    

 Here is something I found some one does... Its on Sun but ...is this just skipping a tape..not marking it bad?  

echo "1" > /usr/openv/netbackup/MEDIA_ERROR_THRESHOLD  

This should cause Netbackup to freeze a tape after one failure.

My Oracle Press book, Oracle9i RMAN Backup and Recovery was written using
RMAN on NT and RMAN on UNIX.
I had no problems using RMAN on NT at all. Of course, there are a number of
MML vendors out there and I only used
one, so I can't speak for the effectiveness of the others.

Hello All,

I have been relying on RMAN as the primary backup solution in a relatively
large corporate environment for the past three years. We have been running
it on our Unix platforms for versions 8.1.6, 8.1.7, and now 9.2.0.

I frequently provide advice on RMAN to local DBA's. I was recently asked if
I would have any reservations about utilizing RMAN on NT. I do not have any
oracle running on NT, so I would greatly appreciate it if you could share
any experience you have had on NT that would be helpful.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts,

-Ron Yount-
