The role of RMAN in this scenario, does not
change, only the resources used.
A) Use Flashcopy to create
Mirror
B) mount mirror with backup
controlfile
C) run rman on server attached to split
mirror.
Why bother? Only to be used when you
do not want the work of the backup to be done with resources on your "prod"
database server.
The good news, the backup done on the remote
server can be used to restore the db to the remote server or the production
server (8.1.7 and up I believe).

Subject: RMAN & BCV/Flashcopy Question?I plan on using a product from IBM called Flashcopy, similar to EMC's BCV (third mirror). Typically, I put the tablespaces in hot backup via scripting before splitting the third mirror. How can RMAN be used in a similar fashion? Can RMAN put the db in a hot backup state so the third mirror can be split and then backed up to tape?Thanks,Gene
