Managing RMAN backups and restores through Avamar Administrator

To enable Avamar Administrator to monitor or cancel a backup or restore with RMAN, you must create a taskfile and modify the sent statements in the RMAN script.

1. Create a text file called a taskfile with the following entries:

   --no_of_channels=<number of channels to be used in current operation>
   --operation={backup | restore}

   An example of a taskfile is as follows:

   --no_of_channels=2
   --operation=backup

2. Modify the send statements in the RMAN script by adding a taskfile parameter.

   For example:

   send channel='c1' '"--prefix=11g/MAYONE/" "--cacheprefix=MAYONE1" "--bindir=/usr/local/avamar/bin" "--taskfile=/software/taskflag.txt" "--flagfile=/software/my_avtar_flags.txt"';
   allocate channel c2 type sbt PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/local/avamar/lib/libobk_avamar64.so" format '%d_%U';

3. Run the RMAN script according to the appropriate instructions in this chapter.
4. Locate the new entry for the current RMAN operation in the Activity window in Avamar Administrator.
