ORACLE-L Listmates,
We are trying to get RMAN to work with our existing Veritas NetBackup for Oracle implementation,
but they don't seem to be communicating with each other.

We have Veritas NetBackup for Oracle configured so that it works fine to back up files at the operating
system level.
We have RMAN configured and it works fine as long as we copy to disk. When we try to have RMAN backup to tape via Veritas, however, things just hang.
Our RMAN hot backup script is taken straight out of Veritas and RMAN's documentation, as follows:
run {
allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE';
backup

   incremental level 0
   skip inaccessible
   tag hot_db_bk_level0
   filesperset 5
   format 'bk_%s_%p_%t'

      (database);
sql 'alter system archive log current'; backup

   filesperset 20
   format 'a1_%s_%p_%t'
  (archivelog all);
}

When this runs, however, I see no activity in the database as far as messages in
the alert log, change of status in v$backup, etc.

Does anyone have any insights into how to get RMAN and Veritas working together, so that we
can do hot backups to tape?

Thanks in advance,
Scott Lockhart
Senior DBA
