virtual tape

[munir]

Hi,
I create two vms in virtualbox and configure 10g RAC using a shared disk. Share disk was created in virtualbox and assign to vms.
Now I want to test tape backup in this rac. How can I create Tape drive and assign to rac Vms.
As I have no SAN but using virtualbox, I can install RAC.....
So, is there a way to configure virtual tape drive....

AFAIK this is not supported in Virtualbox and therefore not possible out of the box.

So,
Is there any other way to achieve this..... I mean install some virtual tape software .....

Short of writing your own simulation of a tape drive and donating it to the VirtualBox project - no, there is nothing you can do.

I have done it..
I want to share it.....

I install mhvtl on both nodes and configure tape library.....
Then I install netapp client for 10g...
Finally I run rman and take backup..... backup was successful.

Regards,
