Hi everyone,

     My configuration is Netbackup 3.4 extension for Oracle on Solaris
8(64 bit).
Oracle 8.1.5 (32 bit) is installed on the server and Netbackup patch
110539-
07 is available on the server(server and client are the same actually).
I
searched through Sunsolve, Netbackup documents, Veritas archives but I
could
not come with an answer that such a configuration is either supported
(I'm
100% sure that Solaris 2.6 and 7 is supported with some special Veritas
patches) or not supported. I'm guessing that it's somehow supported but
not
officially.
     I'm stating all these because I've run through a very painful and
long
period related with Veritas DB Extension 2.1.1 on Solaris 8. This
package
comes with Vxvm 3.0.4 and Vxfs 3.3.3 and fully supported on Solaris 8.
Although both vxvm and vxfs patches for Solaris 8 (110263-05 and
109299-02
respectively) are installed on server side, DB edition did not work. In
the
end, it turned out that a special Vxfs patch (i50137), definitely not
mentioned on Web sites above, was needed for DB edition to work properly
on
Solaris 8 64-bit. This patch can be found on Veritas ftp site.
     Well, before attempting to set up Netbackup 3.4 with its Oracle
extension on
Solaris 8, I think I should ask if there is such a apecial patch apart
from
Solaris patch for Netbackup,110539-07, as I stated earlier.

Sorry for long mail.
Best regards.
