RE: rman centralized backup server

To be honest - I couldn't just go with the latest version - even with = different versions of the RMAN catalog. =20

I agree with this approach 100%... always have the catalog at the = highest
version level of RMAN that you are operating. Of course, when installing = new
Oracle versioins, check the DOC's to make sure this still applies.

That combat ability matrix will give anyone a head ache. Rman Catalog highest of any database I found was much easier and safer to manageespecially  when you may have other people taking over the maintenance of it.

Hi Paula,
You can certainly use the (8i/9i?) database on your Solaris server = to=3D20
house a 10G RMAN catalog, the database version used to house the catalog

is largely irrelevant. What IS relevant is that you have a version of RMAN=3D20
catalog that is compatible with the RMAN binary you are using on = the=3D20
target database (which usually means the CATALOG must be at least the same=3D20
version as the executable).

Whether you can use the same catalog to house 8i/9i/10g databases I am not=3D20
sure, you'll have to check compatability for that but I have = combined=3D20
8i/9i databases in a 9i catalog with no problem.

Regards

Graeme

rman centralized backup server

Guys,

In order to manage and provide easier d/r for the oracle infrastructure
=3D3D I have setup a centralized rman catalog and for redundancy another
copy =3D3D of the same. Here is my concern:

We are going to be installing a new instance of 10G on Linux. I =3D3D currently have my centralized RMAN running on Solaris - could I backup =
=3D
=3D3D

the 10G databases on Linux with RMAN on Solaris - would I need to have =
=3D
=3D3D

10G RMAN on Solaris to make that happen?

Thanks,
Paula
