Crosschecking backups

The crosscheck command verifies that backups on the Avamar server exist. RMAN marks the backup as available or expired upon successful completion of this command. When the crosscheck command is unable to connect to the Avamar server, the operation fails.

1. Open a command shell.
2. Log in to Oracle RMAN by using the Oracle user ID and password.
   The command prompt changes to and RMAN prompt.
3. Connect to the Oracle database.
4. Verify a backup by typing the following RMAN commands:

   allocate channel for maintenance type sbt
   PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=install-dir/lib/libobk_avamar.so";
   send '"--flagfile=/oracle/my-avtar-flags.txt"\
   "--bindir=/usr/local/avamar/bin"';
   crosscheck backup device type sbt;

   where install-dir is the base installation directory for the platform. For example, specify /usr/local/avamar on Linux, /opt/AVMRclnt on Solaris, C:\Progra~1\avs\bin on Windows, and so forth.
