Re: [Veritas-bu] Does netbackup the 5.1 client agentbackup(oracle/sql) w

It’s been a while but it seems to me that once we went to 6.5 on the master we had to upgrade the clients that were running the Oracle to make RMAN backups work reliably. We also had to update the media servers. For standard OS clients we were still able to do the backups from 5.1 so it appears the agents need to be upgraded. This included backups of filesystems containing oracle data (BCV copies) so it was only RMAN that seemed to care.

I am running in an environment which is using a 6.5.3 master and media servers with some 5.1 clients and for a while everything as fine. Out of the blue we start experiencing problems with database agents and system_state. On upgrading to 6.5.3 all the problems disappeared. The type of errors 14, 13, 40, 41. Also 5.1 unpatched was not the best version on the planet!

Hi,

Just want to know your if any one out there who are successfully running netbackup clients in 5.1 version (including the Oracle, SAp & SQL) agent backups.
in 653 master/media environemnt

Because we tried to upgrade our environment
one Master server (solaris 9) &
Two media server (solaris 9) to 653 & rest of the media server in 5.1 mixed mode including clients.

After the upgrade we ran the test backup of the Oracle /sql agent backup & filesystem backup was running fine. suddently after an hour all the agent backup started to fail with error code 54, when we try to run many jobs. We tried to fix it but not successful, so we rolled back to 5.1 now & all works fine.

Is this an know bug (or) is there a config/tuning that we are missing? Any help is appreciated.
