Symptoms



Oracle Avamar rman CLI archivelog backup does not run concurrently with database backups when a taskfile is in use.

rman script that does the database backup uses the same taskfile than archivelog backups

rman script to do database backups:

run {

allocate channel t1 type sbt PARMS 'SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/local/avamar/lib/libobk_avamar64.so' SEND '"--flagfile=/home/oracle/flags.txt" "--bindir=/usr/local/avamar/bin"  "--cacheprefix=t1" "--vardir=/var/avamar" "--logfile=/var/avamar/t1.log" "--taskfile=/home/oracle/taskflag.txt"' trace 5;
...

rman script that does archivelog backups:

run {
allocate channel t1 type sbt PARMS  'SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/local/avamar/lib/libobk_avamar64.so' SEND '"--flagfile=/home/oracle/flags.txt" "--bindir=/usr/local/avamar/bin"  "--cacheprefix=t1arch" "--vardir=/var/avamar" "--logfile=/var/avamar/t1arch.log" "--taskfile=/home/oracle/taskflag.txt"' trace 
5;
...

Note: taskfile is a file that contains info about number of channels and if the operation is backup or restore.

Cause

Concurrent operations should use different taskfile names.

Resolution

  • Create a different file name for the taskfile used for archivelog backups.

Example:


rman script to do database backups:

run {

allocate channel t1 type sbt PARMS 'SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/local/avamar/lib/libobk_avamar64.so' SEND '"--flagfile=/home/oracle/flags.txt" "--bindir=/usr/local/avamar/bin"  "--cacheprefix=t1" "--vardir=/var/avamar" "--logfile=/var/avamar/t1.log" "--taskfile=/home/oracle/taskflag.txt"' trace 5;
...


rman script that does archivelog backups:

allocate channel t1 type sbt PARMS  'SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/local/avamar/lib/libobk_avamar64.so' SEND '"--flagfile=/home/oracle/flags.txt" "--bindir=/usr/local/avamar/bin"  "--cacheprefix=t1arch" "--vardir=/var/avamar" "--logfile=/var/avamar/t1arch.log" "--taskfile=/home/oracle/taskarch.txt"' trace 5;
...
