Plugin for RMAN with RAC in Managed-Mode - how?

[mdiver]

We're already running plugins in unmanaged mode with several customers. Plugins get deployed on each node and once you start a backup from within RMAN a job appears with the shared cluster name of the RAC.

How can this be accomplished in managed mode?
First we would setup a protection group with all the cluster nodes to roll out the plugins.

But how should the backup policy be created using the shared cluster name to backup the RAC?
In the policy I can only find the cluster nodes themselves.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

During the protection group rescan, the plug-in collects information about application topology, serializes it in .xml format, and sends it to the Veeam B&R server. The Veeam B&R server saves this information in its configuration database, allowing you to see standalone servers and RACs when you create a new policy. The fact that you only see standalone servers is related to an issue that occurred during the rescan (most likely because we could not detect the RAC scanname), and this issue must be investigated by our support team. Please open a support case and share the case ID with us.

Thanks!

Hi Mike,
some months ago I wrote an article on the community related to RMAN plugin in managed mode.

There are a lot of permissions to verify to permit correct backup with Instance name.
