The following screenshot shows a list of the available clients in our cell server:

At this point, there are 4 main strategies to configure a backup specification of the Oracle RAC
database
•
Configure the backup using the node name and instance, i.e. ita018 and RAC1
•
Configure the backup using a VIP and all instances, i.e. ita018-vip and RAC1,RAC2,RAC3,RAC4
•
Configure the backup using a VIP and a service name, i.e. ita018-vip and BACKUP
•
Configure the backup using a VIP and allocate the channels manually
We perform an Online Backup of the tablespace POOL for all following backups. As it has a large
number of datafiles, we can observe how the distribution of datafiles over channels is achieved. The
session report for each of these sessions can be found in the Appendix C.
Use the hostname and the Instance name to configure the backup
In this case we use the hostname ita018 as client and the instance name RAC1 to configure the
integration. The backup will run exclusively on one node, i.e. ita018. If the instance RAC1 is not
available, the backup will fail.
