Backup with RMAN thru tape without MML (Media Management Library)

waruteruAug 8 2013 — edited Jan 13 2015

Hi Everyone,

I am new with RMAN Backup and Recovery and I need your Professional Advice.

We are using RMAN and Datapump to backup our Oracle 11gR2 Single Instance Database with ASM.

When we execute RMAN Backup command, the backup piece were stored in our FRA or Fast Recovery Area in our ASM Disk Storage.

One of our challenges in environment is to backup our database through tape with the use of RMAN without installing MML (Media Management Library) or without acquiring OSB,Veritas or any Third Party Software.


Now my question is, Is it possible to put my Fast Recovery Area Backup Piece into tape without the use of MML?

Appreciate if you could give me examples on how to execute backup and recovery script on this senario.

Thank you

Are you able to manually mount the exported NFS on the OVM server?

Hi there. Yes I was able to manually mount the nfs. I actually fixed the issue as it was the permission settings but then it didn't create the standard directories (like ISO, Templates etc). so I created a nfs volume on my NAS and it all went well.

So you can't export a normal filesystem or directory cause won't work....it that right?

Guess no… if you're at the point, where you can manually mount the NFS export on the target host, everything should be working smoothly and OVMM should create the needed directories. But beware, don't export the root of a volume via NFS to OVMS as this will cause you some headaches, once you want to destroy the repo, since OVM then won't be able to delete the lost+found folder.

OK. anyway it's fixed now.

Thanks
