Credential Validation Failed (Oracle RAC)

Hi everyone,

My customer has 2 nodes Oracle Database (RAC) and I need to integrate that database with NetBackup 11 to backup the database.

The connection between NetBackup and Oracle DB nodes is totally fine. I have already installed NetBackup Client on one node. 

My problem is that I discovered the database successfully, but when I added a credential for it (using Oracle credential), though the credential still works fine locally and has all the necessary privileges, the validation is still failed.

Did I do something wrong or Did I miss any configuration steps ? What should I do next to fix this problem ?

    for Oracle RAC you need to install the agent on all nodes.

    what are ports you have opened between Master /media and nodes ?
    you need to have below ports open :

    1556,13724 are working fine in both direction ?
    can you ask your DBA to run below command and check if it is going through

    #rman target "'username/<password>@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=<>)(PORT=<>))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=<>)(INSTANCE_NAME=<>))) as sysbackup'" nocatalog

    replace <> with valid value
    replace username/<password> with username and password DBA provided you
