Re: relink SGI 64 bit Oracle 8.1.7 & Veritas Netbackup

Thanks Cherie,

I've done a lot of searching on Veritas's web site. I think I found the section you mentioned, it doesn't show anything for 8.1.7. I called Veritas sales and they said there wasn't a different client for 64bit, but today I found a patch for V3.4 64 bit, so much for sales knowing what they are selling. We unfortunately purchased Netbackup from Sun and get our maintenance through them, "MAJOR WASTE OF TIME". The Sun help desk can't even spell Netbackup. I'll just keep lobbying for direct maint.

Thanks again

James,

Have you tried Veritas's web site?
It's at http://support.veritas.com/menu_ddProduct_NETBACKUP.htm

Click on advanced search under Knowledge Base in the middle right part of the page.

Search on the error message that you get. Try all the error numbers by themselves. You should get a hit that way.

I was able to find a very nice article in their Knowledge Base showing how to do the relink libobk. They had a section for 32-bit as well as
a section for 64-bit. I can't put my hands on the hard copy I had right
now
but it might turn up. Email me if you fail to find the article on their
website.

I have had very little success in troubleshooting RMAN errors related to
Veritas via Oracle and/or Metalink. I have had pretty good support from
Veritas, though. If nothing else, get their support phone number off of
their
web site and call their support direct. Their people can be a bit spotty
but
most of the time I've spoken with someone very good.

DBA's

Has anyone been able to get Veritas Netbackup to work with SGI 64 bit Oracle 8.1.7

The relink fails with ~/lib/libobk.so is o32

I've tried the following relink statements:

  make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle
and
  make -f ins_rdbms.mk PL_FLAGS=-32 both fail

Metalink/Oracle support is no help as usual.

TIA
...JIM...
