Description:
Specific problem with NetVault: Backup 8.0, APM for Oracle (Version 5.5)
Symptoms:
Netvault backup of FRA area fails.
When running a backup of the Flash Recovery Area (NB. NOT backup to FRA) the Netvault job fails although the RMAN script appears to complete successfully.
Job Message 2008/05/27 15:01:34 91 Data Plugin orarac1 Finished with exit code 0
Error 2008/05/27 15:01:34 91 Jobs orarac1 Fatal error: Backup Failed
Error 2008/05/27 15:01:34 91 Jobs orarac1 Job Status: Backup Failed
The most likely reason for this is that there is nothing in the FRA that requires a backup. Note that if you selected "delete recovery files from Flash Recovery Area After Successful backup, and all files have already been backed up, the files will still be deleted, but the job will still fail.
Look in the logs for messages of the type:
Information 2008/05/27 15:02:59 91 Data Plugin orarac1 specification does not match any archive log in the recovery catalog
Information 2008/05/27 15:02:59 91 Data Plugin orarac1 specification does not match any datafile copy in the repository
Information 2008/05/27 15:02:59 91 Data Plugin orarac1 specification does not match any backupset in the repository
Information 2008/05/27 15:02:59 91 Data Plugin orarac1 backup cancelled because all files were skipped
Information 2008/05/27 15:01:26 91 Data Plugin orarac1 skipping archive log file +DATA/emearac/2_6_655467492.dbf; already backed up 1 time(s)
If there is nothing to backup, the RMAN script completes and returns a zero value (i.e. successful) but the job fails as there is nothing to create a backup index for.
