When you initiate the oracle backups, are they being scheduled from
Netbackup, or are you using cron on the server to run the local rman scripts
which use the class and schedules that you mention?  

So far as seeing default-policy running when you perform the Oracle rman
backups, you always see the default-policy as running when you initiate a
Netbackup for Oracle / RMAN backup.

I wasn't sure about the retention periods, but if you are needing different
retention periods for your backups you may want to set up 3 classes assuming
that you want different retention periods for all three schedules.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Oracle Backup question


I'd like to have a class for oracle backups with 3 schedules in the class. A
monthly 
(every 4 weeks) cold full, a weekly hot full, and a nightly hot cumulative
incremental. I have a script that calls the appropriate rman information
based on the NB_ORA_PC_SCHED 
variable in its environment when it's called. This works and performs the
appropriate type of backup, but the jobs that actually write to tape show up
as being in the default-policy. This, of course, doesn't work out because
the retention periods that go with the schedules aren't gonna take.

If I put the 'send' command into the rman script, I end up with an error 240
"No schedules of the correct type exist in this class".

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
