Dear colleagues hope you'll give me some advice on following issue, i've got cluster with two nodes, having active/passive Oracle DB instance, accessible over VIP,
I've got two NBU clients installed on both machines (and in configuration of the clients i have respective hostnames of those two vcs servers), and the issue is following:
When running backup manually for the DB running on one particular node NBU gives an error that the client is not configured, and when I replace hostname in the client configuration for VIP - everything works smoothly, but this is obviously is not a solution as i cannot have that VIP in NBU client configuration, because filesystem has to be archived as well and VIP cannot be up on both machines at the same time, and in production there's no chance to know which machine hosts Oracle DB at the moment.
I could setup real hostnames in RMAN backup scripts, let's say server1 and server2 and create two backup scenarios, but this would mean that 50% of jobs would always fail ... and this is looks weird.
Could you kindly give an advice on what be more or less convenient solution?
Cheers.
