Ok ,
It looks like you have the licenses.  If you have installed the client 
software you should be good to go.

On the client you should have this directory
/usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/oracle
That indicates that the Oracle Agent software is installed on the client

in /usr/openv/netbackup/bin you should have these two binaries
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     bin      1273900 Apr 12  2005 libobk.so.1*
-r-xr-xr-x   1 oracle   dba      2141272 Apr 12  2005 libobk.so64.1*

I addition you need to link the oracle library to one of these binaries 
depending on if you are using 64 bit Oracle
You should have this link in your /oracle/product/10.2/lib directory

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          38 May  3  2006 libobk.so -> 
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.so64.1

Do you have your RMAN scripts set to backup to tape?

When I look at the licenses that I have installed on my server I have this 

listed, is this the add-on license that you refering to or this is 
something 
else?

Thanks for help.
