There's a special set of commands to sync the RMAN & Netbackup catalogs. Check

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup expiry of rman backups with infinite
retention period
Hi,
I have recently set-up some Oracle rman backups with Netbackup 4.5 on Solaris.
The retention period in the policy is set to infinite for both the automatic
and application backup schedules. I wanted to check that Netbackup would clean
up the backups when I obsolete them in rman. But having done the obsolete in
rman I have found that Netbackup has not removed the backup images from the
tapes, even though they are gone from the rman catalog. I tried running
"bpimage -cleanup -client <name>" but the bpdbm log showed that nothing was
removed.
There was an oddity with the Netbackup configuration on the client, when the
original backup was made, the bp.conf contained the wrong client name. Could
this be causing a problem, now that the client name has been changed?
Am I on the wrong track here? According to the manual when rman deletes a
backup-piece Netbackup should get rid of it regardless of the retention period.
Does anyone know of a way I can sort this out, so that when rman deletes the
backup, Netbackup does as well?
Thanks
Pete
