We are experiencing some issues with our Oracle backups. We have
discovered that when an RMAN backup scheduled by NetBackup (via an
Oracle specific class) runs into a problem, like a media error or no
tape drive available it just stops running. The backup people see a
NetBackup job just sitting there doing nothing and have to kill it to
clear it. Usually when running an OS backup, if NetBackup encounters
these types of errors it will retry a number of times over a given
period of time which typically results in a valid backup being run.
According to our backup people we have to go into the RMAN shell scripts
and mimic this behavior (retrying a number of times over a period of
time). How are other sites dealing with this issue?
