Re: redhat linux ia64 rman backup : is it possible?

Hi,

The db size is near 2TB.

I need to stop the dbservers because of ocfs. alter tablespace backup does not work. (the file system command which copies the files cant access the files because of ocfs.)

Thanks
hope

note:

I have great disappointments with redhat linux - ocfs - rac - itanium64 combination. I feel myself in a laboraty experiment while i deal with this system but unlikely this is a live datawarehouse system.....
