Hi All,

I'm setting up Oracle 7 EBU utility and the ADSM Connect Agent for Oracle under
AIX, on two client machines.

The Oracle recommendation is that there be one EBU catalog.   The ADSM normal
practise is one client per machine with each client having a different name.

Ok.  Assume that we have a single EBU catalog, client ora_a on machine alpha and
ora_b on machine beta. We now proceed to backup databases on either machine and
the backups all work ok.  If we then attempt to list all of the backup
information from alpha using ebutool -job=all , all of the backups that were
taken on beta return ...

One or more BFSs for job <n> have been removed from the media vendors catalog
Restore from this backup will not be possible.
Please Invalidate or remove job

and

WARNING, BFS <999999999> has been removed from Media  for each backed-up file

The same happens for information requested on beta when the backup was taken on
alpha.  I assume that
this happens because the ora_a client can't see ora_b data and vice versa.

There are a couple of possible approaches to this problem

1. set up one EBU catalog per machine
2. ignore the errors
3. run both clients as the same name using the DSMO_NODE environment variable.
Copying the encrypted
password file between machines seems to work ok.
4.  Is there a security/permissions workaround that will let each client see the
 other's data?

In my case, the two machines have shared disk and conceptually any database can
run on either, so I'm
probably going to go with both clients having the same name.

How are all you others set up?  Can anyone see any problems with this approach?
  Could both clients run
simultaneously with the same name from different IP addresses?

TIA
