If NetVault 11.1.0 or later is functioning as a NetVault Server and NetVault Client on the same machine, CLI jobs, for example Oracle RMAN CLI Jobs, might fail.

System requirements

Before installing Plug‑in for Oracle 13.0, ensure that your system meets the requirements outlined in the Quest NetVault Compatibility Guide available at https://support.quest.com/technical-documents.

Upgrade and compatibility

•
Plug‑in for Oracle 13.0 requires NetVault 13.x or later. For complete supported-platform information, see the Quest NetVault Compatibility Guide.
•
Upgrading from 5.0: When upgrading from 5.0 of the plug-in, note the following:
•
If you are using a permanent 5.0 Edition-Based License Key, obtain a new license key before upgrading to a later version. The 5.0 Edition-Based License Keys were issued between June 2007 and May 2008. If you are using an older Oracle Online or Oracle RMAN permanent license key, a new permanent license key is not required.
•
After upgrading to the new version, the default attributes must be entered again. This requirement is true whether you are currently using an evaluation key or permanent key for 5.0.
•
Upgrading from Oracle Online and Oracle RMAN Plug-ins: When upgrading from the Oracle Online or Oracle RMAN plug-ins, note the following:
•
The concept of a backup method has been introduced. The plug-in offers two backup methods: User Managed and RMAN. The User Managed backup method correlates to the backup method used by previous versions of the Oracle Online plug-in. The RMAN backup method correlates to the backup method used by previous versions of the Oracle RMAN plug-in.
•
Backups taken with previous versions of the Oracle Online or Oracle RMAN plug-in can be restored with the consolidated Plug-in for Oracle.
•
All backup jobs from previous versions of the Oracle Online or Oracle RMAN plug-in must be re-created due to the introduction of a backup method option and other new features built into the consolidated plug-in.

Product licensing

To obtain the license file for your NetVault Server environment, determine the NetVault Machine ID of your main NetVault Server. Also identify the machine IDs of any clients running application plug-ins, such as Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Exchange.

 
* 
NOTE: If you are running an Oracle Database Server Failover Cluster environment, a clustered application NetVault license for the NetVault Oracle Virtual Client is required. To entitle RMAN autobackups and RMAN CLI backups, install additional NetVault Client Oracle licenses on the NetVault Server for the NetVault Clients that comprise the NetVault Oracle Virtual Client.

You can use the License Management page to install the product license files.
