Purpose
Quite often when considering RMAN restore performance, the first thing that springs to mind is the speed of the tape device, the media manager configuration, the restore script and the no:channels being allocated. Yet the backup itself and how the backup was originally written can have a huge impact on restore performance and this is what this note is primarily concerned with.
Scope
This note is intended for use by Database Administrators and Support personnel investigating RMAN restore performance specifically from a tape backup. It specifically looks at issues related to the processing of RMAN metadata, retrieval of the data from tape and when a restore is performing badly, how to determine where the time is being spent : in Oracle or in the Media Manager Layer. Problems related to writing back to disk/storage devices are outside the scope of this document.
A basic understanding of RMAN and Oracle is assumed.
