New 10gR2 Instance
Hello again, blogging world. I've been out enjoying the Summer and taking vacation, but am now back for a few weeks to move things forward. The latest news on Oracle databases is that I installed a brand new instance of 10gR2 on our standy/backup server. I've been reading up on RMAN and am just about ready to try to load this database from the backups of our production instance. Brad is going to copy over the backup folders for me and do a little work recreating the correct directory structure, then we'll be ready to give it a try. This is really the first "restore" we've tried around here for quite a while. It is the first step in creating a more robust backup strategy, and also the first step in getting us trained and ready to perform backups if it becomes necessary.
The two production databases have been pretty boring lately. They are getting light usage this time of year. The smaller one has a few issues with the server it's on, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We may very well have a VM (virtual machine) to put it on in the near future. Everyone is ready for that to happen. Dale and I continue to monitor these databases using EM, and have fixed some minor problems. We are both impressed with the improvements in Version2 over Version1.
