    Diging deeper we found out that crosscheck was marking EXPIRED also the backups still on disk and not de-staged to tape.

    I come across this 3d https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/rman-crosscheck-expired-existing-backuppiece and changed the allocation adding the SEND parameters, this resolved the issue since crosscheck was now corretly talking to NBU and updating RMAN catalog accordingly.

    Shame this tn link is not working

Hi Francesco,

That was an excerpt from the 7.5 Oracle manual.

I think this is the (updated) one you want:

Example RAC configuration: Failover name is not available and backup is load balanced, simple script with manual policy failover
 http://www.veritas.com/docs/000079285

...and here's the entire guide:

NetBackup 7.7.1 for Oracle Administrator's Guide
 http://www.veritas.com/docs/000076661

All of the "Example RAC configurations" can be found starting from page 228.
