Having NetBackup automatically stop and start Oracle is extremely
error-prone. There will be times when the database will not start up
due to a variety of errors that can occur at various times of the backups.
We don't use agents and I got called an hour ago by a DBA and we don't
even have stop/start scripts called by NetBackup! He still thought it
was our fault that the database was down.
Use an Oracle agent. Seriously.
