To list:: I'm configuring rman backups for our first RAC deployment, hopefully to be live in September. In the past, with single-instance Oracle, I have used cron to schedule daily backups from the database server. We have always licensed Tivoli for Oracle from IBM, this gives rman the interface to our Tivoli tape library. Now that we have a 3-node cluster, I'm trying to decide how to schedule backups; one of the nodes will be the preferred server, others will run the rman job only if the others are not available. I have seen reference to using dbms_scheduler, but this would not work if we wanted to run an offline backup. I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks!
