Getting Error running first 10G Split mirror backup

[Former Member]

I am getting the following error:

BR0278E Command output of 'LANG=C rcp db_host:/oracle/MCP/102_64/dbs/sap.ora /oracle/MCP/102_64/dbs/sap.ora':

db_host: unknown host

I understand the error but do not know how to fix it. My guess is I need a parm somwehre to define the where the remote DB host (db_host) is??????

This backup job was working before the conversion to 10G along with conversion to new versions of brbackup.

Thanks,

Dan

The split command executes a script put together by EMC Corporation and Kohler Co. It is proprietary. The re-sync does not execute anything.

I don't see where that is germain to this error. The brbackup execution is not even getting to that point. It appears brbackup wants to rcp a file from the DBMS server but is using the literal string "db_host" as part of the rcp command. I would think a variable in the init<SID>.sap being used would be needed to substitute for this? If that's not it then I am at a loss. A developer that works on the BR-Tools would know what is needed here.

Hi Dan,

Did you modified the /oracle/MCP/102_64/dbs/sap.ora file after the Ora10g installation, or it's the "default" file?

Perhaps you must copy your old /oracle/MCP/<b>920_64</b>/dbs/sap.ora to the new location, or adapt the new one with the old parameters...

Best Regards,

JC Llanes.

Thanks for your post Eric. I am a bit confused on that. db_hosts is not the name of any server so how can you put that entry in /etc/hosts? Also, our backup server backs up many SAP systems. This the first one converted to Oracle 10G but how could I use this /etc/hosts entry for multiple 10G databases on the backup server?

Thanks,

Dan
