Just wondering before I need to do it for real how folks deal with oracle backups with agent that are offline and under cluster control.
Hot / online backups...no problem the db stays running , the cluster is happy.
But we may be needing cold backups due to excessive arcredo space...now this will try and shutdown the db and the cluster wont like it.
Would ordinarily use OIP but might need a change of direction.
I'm guessing one needs pre/post scripts to clrg offline the oracle db component and online afterwards: but what happens to the command issued via netbackup to offline the db...does it fail? Does it then affect the running backup? Sounds messy...is there value in just doing a flat file backup and put the clrg commands around that backup? Thanks in advance, Jim
