You have to use a version of rman which is at least at the level of the hightest level database in the catalog. E.g., if you have 8.1.7 and 8.0.5 put the rman catalog in at 8.1.7 database.

RE: RMANLisa,
I believe when you create the catalog you can specify a compatibility level. Haven't tried it myself so you'd have to check the B&R/RMAN docs for details. We went with an 805 catalog for our 805 sids and an 816 for our 816 (and hopefully beyond) sids, don't have anything in between. But I believe the rman executable must be the same version as the sid even if one catalog services all.

Aren't there problems though, if you're running different versions? For example, we are running 8.1.6 and 8.1.5 database instances. I had installed 8.1.6 RMAN, but it won't let me register the 8.1.5 version in the catalog. Does anybody know of a workaround - short of upgrading our 8.1.5 database?

Thanks -
Lisa

Hi, William,

          I used to have may rman backups since 8.0.5, and I could say, 8.1.6
  makes a BIG difference. It is much more stable and worth to go, especially   if you have big/frequantly updated database. Even 8.1.5 is well behind   8.1.6. My preference is to have rman backup information in catalog rather   than controlfile. Anytime you can export it and restore to any database,   even on different platform. Works fine. My current configuration is 8.1.6 on
  Solaris + NetBackup.

Hi,

At one time, I had implemented RMAN in my 8.0 environment. It had some bugs, so I went back to my old way of doing backups. Now that I have upgraded to 8.1.6, I was thinking of re-implementing RMAN. But some of the discussion here implies that there are still problems. Can someone elaborate
on all of this so we might make an informed decision?
