We are backing up our production DataGuard databases on our primary database and we have our SLA configured to replicate those backups to a different Rubrik cluster in a different data center. When we use the Rubrik python scripts to display/mount backups from the target cluster the only databases that are available are the one that where backed up on that target cluster and the Dataguard databases in that data center(but not backed up). The Oracle replicated database backups that where backed up in our database center, that host our production(primary) databases, do not show up on the target cluster. Using the Rubrik web interface we can see the primary Dataguard backups and we can also see that they are replicated to the target cluster. We can also select the target cluster and mount the Oracle production databases backups to server that is in the same data center as our target cluster. We are expecting the Rubrik Oracle tools python scripts to be able to access those replicated Oracle backups on the target cluster. Please let us know if that is not the case.

The Rubrik_Oracle_tools scripts connect to an individual cluster, not to RSC. This is why you are unable to execute your current workflow.

Remember the RSC is a global picture of your Rubrik estate, so you see every cluster available and it has the ability to execute tasks against specific clusters that you select.

Rubrik_Oracle_Tools only connects to the Rubrik Data Vault (formerly CDM) cluster defined in config.json.

If you want to execute tasks on the replicated backups and are running these packages centrally, simply create a second config.json with the information for the replication cluster. The other option is to deploy Rubrik_Oracle_Tools on a different host to manage activities against the replication cluster.

Hope this helps!
