'nbdisco' causing excessive Oracle logins ?
Hi All,
The Oracle DBA is seeing Oracle logins at 6 hour intervals, throughut the day, for each Oracle SID. Since there are over 100 instances, this is messing up his log. I am suspicious of 'nbdisco' on NetBackup 7.6 client, and wondering...
1. What it's polling frequency for 'nbdisco', and if that can be changed ?
2 Will the "REPORT_CLIENT_DISCOVERIES = FALSE" bp.conf setting disable polling for Oracle instances altogether, or just disable the reporting of instances back to the master (while continueing to poll for them) ?
3. Is there any documentation for 'nbdisco', other than its mention in "NetBackup 7.6 Oracle Admin Guide" pages 53-54 ?
-------------- Configuration --------------
NetBackup 7.6.0.3 (probably Linux based)
NetBackup 7.6.0.3 client on RHEL 6.5.
Oracle 11.2.0.3, 11.2.0.4, 12.1.0.2

Thank you all reading.
Hi,
If you put it to false the service/process wont run so I would say in your case that is a good idea.

From what I know to nbdisco it does not login to Oracle. It only detects running Oracle instances used by Oracle Intelligent Policies.
Update: I did a strace on the nbdisco in-house, i did not catch any calls for Oracle binary
