Thanks

I am running a Oracle 9 standby database and applying logs using a script. Do I have to run a full table stats after activating thhe database or are they updated by the database logs?

There are three possible ways to do this Taking a monthly backup and sending the tapes offsite will be quicker but you have no guarantee that you will be able to restore from the tapes. Cloning the backup and sending the clones offsite will be slow and again you have no guarantee to be able...

I think it may be because in June the 15th fell on a Wednesday. If you try to recover during the period 16th -22nd, the date of the next full backup, you will require offline tapes from the backup on the 15th.

Sometimes the system can spend a long time trying to unmount busy file systems. Why don't you put some echos in the /sbin/rc* scripts to see where it is getting to?

The /sbin/rc* scripts run the equivalent /etc/rc*.d scripts before calling the uadmin command. The databases would be shut down at this point.

I had a similar problem on Solaris 8 but found this in Sunsolve. I have not tried a reboot yet. Document Audience: SPECTRUM Document ID: 78857 Title: Solaris[TM]: shutdown -i6 -g0 -y failed to reboot machine. Synopsis: Solaris[TM]: shutdown -i6 -g0 -y failed to reboot machine. Update Date: Fri...

I have been running the cloning scripts automatically for some time now. I set it up as follows:- The crontab entry 0,15,30,45 * * * * /nsr/perl/bin/perl /scripts /scripts/cloner_unix.pl >>/tmp/cloning.log 2>&1 At the end of each Legato backup scripts insert the following :-...

Further info... The clone tapes are all labelled CPxxxx and these are the only ones ejected and sent off line. I amended the second script to include the other tape labels in case I had to deposit other groups of tapes

These are the different tape labels PR0000, AR0000, PL0000 and CP etc... Will depend on your labeling standards

Ed, We send our clone tapes off site but don't remove them from Networker because of the short cycle time (2 weeks). I have attached a couple of scripts that I use to eject/deposit these tapes. This one ejects the clone tapes used in the past 24 hours and updates their location with the...

Sorry, should have said set "Target sessions" on each drive to 1

Try setting the parallelism to 1 on each drive. Apparently this allows the software to decide which drives to use.

You are correct, you cannot print out any of the reports in the downloaded version( 2.1 Beta). I assume that they are aware of this and are working on it for the official release at the end of May. I have not found out the cost yet, but it is based on the following so may be expensive:- 1. BOM...

Have a look at http://www.integrity-sys.com/ I have downloaded an evaluation copy of this software and am running it against Vn 6.0.1 on Solaris using the Nt gui on my PC. It seems to provide some of the reports you are looking for. I don't know the cost yet.
