Hello All,

I am trying to do an alternate client restore using NetBackup 3.4 with Oracle 
extension without any success. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

1) login as user oracle do a hot backup on node Host2
2) want to restore the hot backup to host1; host1 is also where the NetBackup 
server is installed.
3) login as user oracle do a restore on node host1, get the following message 
in the dbclient log file:

4) bp.conf for user oracle on host2 is as follows:

        SERVER = host1
        CLIENT_NAME = host2
        BPBACKUP_CLASS = ora85
        VERBOSE = 9      

5) bp.conf for user oracle on host1

        SERVER = host1
        CLIENT_NAME = host2
        BPBACKUP_CLASS = ora85
        VERBOSE 

6) bp file in the /usr/openv/netbackup directory

        SERVER = host1
        CLIENT_NAME = host2
        VERBOSE
        CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT = 3600

7) No.Restrictions is in the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames directory

8) NB_ORA_CLIENT is specified in the script as well
        allocate auxiliary channel dupt1 type 'sbt_tape' 
parms="ENV=(NB_ORA_CLENT=host2)";

I appreciate any help and ideas. Thank you very much.
