RE: Configuring Veritas Netbackup Question

Dwayne Cox,

 Don't know if this is the same problem, but I did run into this and the there had to be a re-linking and a softlink set for a library if I remember correctly. Just an idea to check. I know this stuff is a bugger till you get it working.

I apologize for this *basic* question but I have searched the manuals, Robert Freeman's RMAN book and MetaLink as well as Googled and cannot find the answer. I know its something simple.

We have Veritas Netbackup 4.5 running on Red Hat Linux 7.2. It has been backing up our netowrk for a couple years without a problem. We recently purchased the license for the Oracle module and installed
(activated) it (actually, the SA did this while I watched).

The database server is a separate Linux (same version) box and the client seems to have been installed.

Anyway, I go through the steps to configure Netbackup (setting up a policy, media, etc). All looks good. I create a test script for rman
(based on one I know works). When I attempt to run a test backup and I
get the message 'Unable to get data from client polar from server phoenix. status 104'.

What am I missing? How do I access the client from the host? I noticed the host server does not have Oracle installed (tnsnames, etc.) so my first thought was to do that but wanted to make sure I was right before I went to the SA to do this.

Thanks for your help!
