Can't see any answers to this so here's mine :
For the Oracle backups, NetBackup runs a script on the client & this script
performs some Oracle processing, then requests a number of backups to be
run, e.g. of each tablespace.  For this, it needs to talk to the master.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup with Media Managers and firewall to
backup an oracle database


Hello again,

        In those documents say that we have to open some ports in the
firewall to have connectivity between the Media Manager and the Master
Server and between the Client and the Master Server. But my problem is only
with Oracle backups, with filesystem backups we only need
connectivity between the Client and the Media Manager and between the Media
Manager and the Master Server, so we only open the firewall for
the Media Manager. This can´t be done with Oracle backups? If so, Why?

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards,

        Asier
