Hi,

the only thing you need is first the NMO module installed for your 
oracle version and rman configured to use 'SBT_TAPE' instead of disk. This 
will send the backup stream to the networker server/storage node via TCP/IP.
On networker side you configure pools and so on as you do with "normal" 
backups. You dont even need a adv_disk device - you can send the data
directly to tape (cause it is normal data from networker perspective).
If you want to use a storage node - you can do it just as you would do with 
normal file system backups.

In addition to that you can of course configure staging, cloning and so on.
