APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The SLA options to save and truncate the logs when selected against an Oracle instance in an active-passive Real Application Cluster (RAC) environment will have no effect when the processed database is on the passive node at the moment of the backup run. If the database moves to the active node, log truncation will complete as expected. The issue will not be seen in an active-active RAC setup. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Versions Affected: IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.2 to 10.1.5 Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: TS003497152 , SPP, SPPLUS, backup, application, oracle, log, truncation, truncate
Local fix
1. Register only the active node of the RAC in Spectrum Protect Plus. OR 2. Create a DNS name on the Spectrum Protect Plus host that points to the IP address of the current active node and use that name to register the active node in Spectrum Protect Plus. When the active node changes, the DNS can be updated to point to the new active node. With this option, when the active node changes, the IP address or hostname can be moved to the new active node and no change will be needed in the Oracle instance registration in Spectrum Protect Plus.
