Load balance Oracle RAC instances
NetBackup can be set up to load balance the instances that makeup the Oracle RAC. Use this feature to distribute the backup load across all of the instances and to exclude any Oracle RAC instances from the backup.
To load balance Oracle RAC instances
- On the left, click Workloads > Oracle and then click RAC databases.
- In the RAC databases tab, click the Actions menu for the Oracle RAC database and select Load balance.
- In the Select number of instances to load balance, select the number of instances to include for load balancing.
If you select All, all instances in the Oracle RAC are available for load balancing.
- In the table, select the instance or instances you want to move up or down in priority.
- Click Move up or Move down to move the instances.
Click Move up to move the instance or instances to the top of the list.
Click Move down to move the instance or instances to the bottom of the list.
- (Optional) If you select Do not use in the action menu on the right, that instance moves to the RAC instances excluded from backup table.
NetBackup does not use this instance when backup operations are performed.
- Click Save.
