Hi,
I already have some experience with the SMO and Oracle Single Instances and so I basically know how it works.
- I finished the storage structure requirements and I was able to create a backup-profile for my RAC test db.
- Backup on the first node/instance was successful (profile was created on this node too).
Now I stuck a little bit in testing the backup on the second node/instance. I noticed that the created profile discovered the second instance
[ INFO] SMO-07431: Saving starting state of the database: <db_name>1(OPEN), <db_name>2(OPEN).
but in the profile properties I only see instance one. (probably as it was the instance/node where I run the create profile command)
I already read some documentation and guides but I miss some detailed information about using SMO with RAC system. I read that it should work even is the local instance is down. (with the –force switch)
But when I try to create a backup of the rac-database on the second node I get an error (with and without –force).
Error-message when both instances are up and running (executed:
smo backup create -profile <profile_name> -full -online -retain -hourly -verbose
on the second node):
[ERROR] SMO-13032: Cannot perform operation: Backup Create. Root cause: SMO-13087: Cannot query database metadata, error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /tmp/SM_9097785343023807096 (No such file or directory)
Any Ideas?
Are there any guides specific for SMO with RAC? (already searched here and in the NOW knowledge base - I don't need/look for general Admin or Best Practices guides about SMO!)

Martin
