Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU and Oracle

There are probably several ways to do this. While I have a different vendor's disk appliance, I suspect similar capabilities.
For us, license cost was an issue. Reducing NetBackup licenses (and involvement) in Oracle database backups to zero, we have our disk appliance export NFS mounts to our Linux/Solaris database machines and have RMAN backup via a script run via cron. This has proved to have fewer problems, less setup time, and no licensing cost when compared to our former use of NetBackup for Oracle Agent.
The only downside that we've experienced is that the reporting of problems we enjoy with the NetBackup Admin Console and StorageScape (StorageConsole) are missing and must be built to ensure the backups are being done. I continue to work on this area.
Cheers, Wayne

We have a DataDomain 670 that I would like to start sending our oracle RMAN jobs to. I would prefer to have the jobs go straight to the dd670 rather than through the media server. Right now we use RMAN on the oracle host and NBU (7.0.1) talks to the DD670 over OST. Do I simply setup the oracle host as a media server with it also configured to talk to the DD670 over OST? Or is there a better way to go about doing this configuration.
