Hello Guys,

We have an issue while running SAP for Oracle RAC using br*tools command lines and script using CV 11.36

When we run the backup of logs with brarchive command line, this will initiate 2 jobs with a different instance on each. (1 for RMAN and 1 for backint)

Ie, of command line : 

“brarchive -u / -c -s -p /oracle/<OracleRACSID instance>/19/dbs/cmv/initXXXXX.sap”

 

BR0280I BRARCHIVE time stamp: 2025-07-28 09:07:41
BR2000I Collecting information on ASM database files...

BR0032I 2 offline redolog files found of database instance <Local1 OracleRACSID instance>

BR0280I BRARCHIVE time stamp: 2025-07-28 09:09:09
BR0542I Offline redolog backup using RMAN successful

… Next steps is calling backint

Job status is JMSUCCESS
Sending message JOB_COMPLETE with status = 5
Success in sending JMSUCCESS to server

 

One job is completed, another failed. we set the correct Oracle RAC SID DB on command line input.

  3696  8930  07/28 09:09:58 287100 Scheduler   -> COMPLETED <- Completed JobType[Backup] CompletionStatus[Success]; Backup job [287100] completed. Client [xxxxx], Agent Type [SAP for Oracle], Subclient [(Logcommand line)], Backup Level [Full], Objects [8], Failed [0], Duration [00:00:41], Total Size [28.22 MB], Media or Mount Path Used [[xxxxx] <disklib_path>].

 

 

At the end of the brarchive process the status is not well reported on CommServe Server, reported that the job is failed.

 

Do you know if something were misconfigured or something wrong with the brarchive command line call ?

FYI, when running log backup through command center, backup are completed as well

Note : Netbackup run log backup with brarchive successfully.

We have create a case about this issue. 

Regards,

Vincent

Hi ​@Vincent633 

Does the client have both CV and Netback SW running on it ?

Hi,

Yes both client have Netbackup and CV installed and running.

By the way, we don”t run at same time. What is strange, that in command center, there is no way to configure a SAP for Oracle RAC. Only SAP for Oracle “page”, setting the server name (aka standalone one ?) and configure the Oracle SID….

 

There is no way like in commcell console and previously with Oracle RAC to configure and create a pseudo client of cluster name…

 

I’m probably little bit confused of steps in command center...
