Symptoms


- Applicable to customers who backup via RMAN to an NFS mount.
- After applying a Minimal Pack for Database Hosts patch to Exadata notice that the RMAN backup rate to NFS is much slower.

Changes


- Noticed after applying a Minimal Pack for Database Hosts to Exadata.

Cause

- During the Minimal Pack for Database Hosts patch apply you are required to dismount any NFS filesystems ( as described in the patch README) but, after the patching is successfully completed check the NFS filesystem was mounted again with the correct NFS options for RMAN.

- Not mounting with the correct NFS options can cause the RMAN backup to NFS performance problem.

Solution

- Remount the filesystem with the correct NFS mount options.

- The recommended options for 11.2.0.2 RMAN backups to NFS are :


# mount -o rsize=65536,wsize=65536,hard,actimeo=0,intr,nodev,nosuid -t nfs nodename:/filesystem
