Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: RMAN Peformance and how to optimise
John,
If the number of tape and RMAN channels were equal to the number of drives available, then you will have optimized tape streaming during backup (saves backup time) as well as restore time. Increasing the number of channels will not solve, but only degrade your backup (and restore) timings. Why don't you look at disk pooling or staging (I know that is available in ADSM now Tivoli, maybe it is available on Legato 7?) We had a similar issue (with just normal files) 4 - 5 years back and I am speaking with that in mind... (so YMMV)!
