[Veritas-bu] Interesting Error with NBU 5.1MP5 and Oracle

Though no errors were raised, there is definitely an error condition.

The server is 5.1 MP5 on Windows 2003 Enterprise Server.

The client is RH Linux ES 4, Oracle 9.2.0.6 with the NBU 5.1 MP5 client.

While investigating some backup issues, I found the following interesting
condition in a log file. Though the template seen in the log clearly shows
that
database DB01 is to be backed up, database DB02 was the one that was
actually backed up.

This has been verified with bplist, and the fact that the controlfile
autoback
filename inludes the DBID from DB01. Both databases are on the same
server, but the passwords for the NBU account is different on each. It
appears
as if the NBU software is picking up the wrong database and password from
it's own data. Losing track of pointers.

Also, both databases have backups scheduled at the same time.

Interesting, no?

I've opened a support case for this, but just wondered if anyone else
has ever seen anything like this.
