• Connect with RMAN to the instance and recovery catalog and specify the channel parallelism we

want to use; in our case parallelism 2 (two tapes devices)

RMAN> CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARALLELISM 2 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;

• In the recovery catalog, configure the channels with the connection string. We define two SBT

channels, 1 connecting to instance RAC1 and 2 connecting to RAC2. For the ENV parameters:

– OB2BARTYPE = refers to the Oracle integration: Oracle8

– OB2APPNAME = Database Name (not instance): in our case RAC

– OB2BARLIST = Name of the backup specification defined in the first step:

RAC_POOL_sbt_rcvcat

– CONNECT connection information for the instance

RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL 1 DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS

'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=RAC,OB2BARLIST=RAC_POOL_sbt_rcvcat)' CONNECT

'sys/xxx@RAC1';

RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL 2 DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS

'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=RAC,OB2BARLIST=RAC

POOL

_sbt_rcvcat)' CONNECT 'sys/xxx@RAC2';

Below, the summary of Recovery Catalog saved parameters for the database RAC:

RMAN> show all;

RMAN configuration parameters are:

CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default

CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default

CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO 'SBT_TAPE';
