Unable to Access Archived Logs in Oracle Cluster Environment

Symptom:

In Oracle cluster environment, after configuring the archive logs on a local disk, the CA ARCserve Backup Agent for Oracle is not accessing the archived logs on other computers in the cluster.

Solution:

If you want to access the archived logs on a computer in the network, ensure that you put the logs on a shared disk or map to the network as the Oracle service is running on a local disk.

To map a machine to the network to access archived logs

1. Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx and download psexec.exe utility.

   The utility is downloaded.

2. Open command prompt and go to the directory which contains the psexec.exe utility.
3. Run command

   psexec.exe  -s cmd
   

4. Execute this command to connect to the network.

   net use X: \\ORA-RAC1\C$ /PERSISTENT:YES
   

   You can now map Y: and Z: drives to the network.

Note: If you are unable to map to the network, then you can perform the backup, restore and recovery operations using the advanced RMAN commands.
