Disabling Failovers during Oracle RAC Restores

During restore operations, RMAN automatically looks for another copy of the file under the following circumstances:

• a backup piece is corrupted or deleted

• a MediaAgent is offline

• a block in the backup is corrupted within the latest full backup

When you select this check box, the Commvault software does not restore from a failover backup piece. The Oracle behavior remains the same, that is it fails over to another backup piece name.

The Commvault software enables this option by default because it might print restore database corruptions.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Browser, navigate to Client Computers > client.

2. Right-click the instance, point to All Tasks and then click Browse and Restore.

3. Select Latest Backup and click View Content.

4. Select the database and click Recover All Selected.

5. Select the option for the type of restore operation, and then click Next.

   An Oracle restore options dialog box appears.

6. On the General tab, click Advanced.

   The Advanced Restore Options dialog box is displayed.

7. On the Options tab, select the Disable Oracle Channel Restore Failover check box.

8. Click OK.

9. Click OK.
