Disaster recovery testing of RAC
Hi,
I am testing the RMAN RAC backups at one of the client side :
Details :
- 2 node 11gR2 RAC+ASM on Linux 2.6
- Backup(INC0 and INC1) of Database is taken to Tape-storage.
- Backup includes SPFILE+CONTROLFILE
What I have done :
- Created a similar Disaster recovery 2 node RAC site which has ASM(same blank disk structure as production) and Grid infrastructure
- Installed the 11gR2 on both the nodes node1 and node2
- Restored backup on performed recovery of node1
- started the database on the node1 in read-write mode and all went fine.
- When I tried to start the node2 on other server. I got the message that It is not finding the spfile/pfile so it can not start the instance. (It might later complain for other files eg. controlfile ).
