Various installations of Linux include more than one executable named as rman. Because of this inclusion, you must verify that the correct Oracle RMAN application is started when you issue the rman command at the prompt. This step can be done by making the path to the Oracle RMAN executable ($ORACLE_HOME/bin) as the first search path in the PATH environmental variable.
Plug‑in for Oracle uses an Oracle “SBT_TAPE” channel to conduct backups of an Oracle database. SBT is commonly used to specify a destination for RMAN commands used to back up to tape media. For complete information on establishing this type of channel for use, see Configuring and Allocating Channels for Use in Backups in the Oracle Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User’s Guide.
IMPORTANT: Jobs that are generated using the RMAN CLI cannot be re-run using the NetVault Backup WebUI. The RMAN CLI command, that is, the RMAN script, is not sent from the RMAN CLI application back to NetVault Backup. So, if you select Run Now on the Job Status page, the job fails. |
You can run the nvpluginaccess utility, which is available in the “util” directory on the NetVault Backup Server, from the NetVault Backup Server or from a NetVault Backup Client.
If the password for the NetVault Backup default user has been set or a non-default NetVault Backup user is used to run the backup and restore, you must run the nvpluginaccess utility on the NetVault Backup Server or you must configure access for the NetVault Backup Client. You must then obtain the necessary security clearance for the plug-in to perform CLI backups and restores.

IMPORTANT: Do not select option 2 or 3; you must enter CLI for the name of the plug-in, which requires selection of option 4. |
