Configure RMAN backup in a RAC Database

Question

Im working on a clustered database and I'm not knowing where to setup my rman script in order to schedule rman backups. Should i setup my scripts on both databases, or on only one. My aim is to backup the full databases and keep an rman script running on one of the nodes if there was any failure.

Answer 1

You only need to run the script against one node. You should keep copies of the script on all nodes, or on shared storage available to all nodes. Alternatively, you can run RMAN from a network client, too and not store the script on the DB nodes at all...
