Step 2 dosen't jive with what you are wanting to do. Since you are not using any external vendor products, there is nothing to relink.

While 2 days to setup RMAN is easy (1 day is enough for one database and backups to disk if everyting is in place!), an extra couple of days to test everything isn't a bad idea either. You should do at least one backup/recovery test. How long this takes depends on a number of factors.

Subject: [Q] How many days to setup RMAN on UNIX server?

We plan to setup RMAN on out SUN Solaris server with ORACLE 9ir2 databases.

We are NOT purchase ORACLE modules for Veritas NETBACKUP yet. The implementation only RMAN backup to hard disks.

We ask ORACLE provide us the price quote and ORACLE ask 5 days to implement. Based on my experience setup RMAN should NOT more than two days. Is ORACLE 5 days request reasonable?

Following are ORACLE suggestion:

Engagement Kick-Off Meeting (½ day)
Team member introductions and role definition
Review of engagement Objectives and Scope
Overview of the RMAN architecture
Re-Link Oracle with the necessary libraries to support RMAN. This task may require several hours of downtime on the affected system.
Install or create the necessary RMAN scripts to backup and maintain RMAN backups in the customers!| environment. Participants will be trained on these scripts and may participate in writing specialized scripts for their environment (2 days)
Perform backup and recovery testing for common Recovery scenarios (3 days)
