RMAN backup to a filesystem and not ASM in RAC
Neo-bAug 27 2012 — edited Aug 29 2012Hello All,
I am using Oracle 11.2.0.3 RAC (2 nodes) + ASM on AIX 7.1
I am backing up my Oracle database through RMAN to ASM disk groups.
I have a requirement to backup also to an OS file systems. So what I did that I mounted an NFS across the 2 nodes of my RAC database.
I am running backup from node 2 only.
My issue now is that I am facing a real performance issue when backing up to NFS.
My question is there any way to take an RMAN backup to local file system on node 2? or in other way what are the options to take RMAN backups to an OS file system?
before I tried to copy from ASM to OS file system but i was advised to backup to file system using the format command.
Please advise what should i do in such case? since I am facing performance issue to backup to NFS
Regards,
