We did NOT give the DBAs access to the Netbackup GUI.  We tell them the
name of the policies and they include them in their RMAN scripts.   You
HAVE to run RMAN because Netbackup and Oracle only support RMAN for the
OCFS filesystems used on Linux.  (We didn't do ASM - suspect its true
for that as well.)  They kick off the backups from their side using the
RMAN scripts they developed.  The only thing done on the NB side is to
create the policy itself.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Oracle RAC backups

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

Just starting to do some testing of backup and recovery of Oracle RAC
environment running on Redhat
Linux.   I have no particular issue,  backups are running fine,  but  I
have very limited experience
backing up Oracle and am looking for some "best practice" for NBU Oracle
policy configurations.   I
am also looking for feedback on how other folks manage day to day Oracle
backup recovery operations.
The DBA's are looking for full access to the NBU admin console, which I
am very reluctant to grant.
I do not have VxSS installed and am not yet running NBU 6.0, so NOM is
not, at this point,  an
option.  Even if it where, how much control do other NBU admin's grant
to DBA's?

Thanks

Vincent Mase
