    Either a status 1 or 6 for Oracle backup indicate that the script executing the Oracle RMAN process recived a non zero from RMAN. You need to take a look at the RMAN output from the client or take a look at Netbackup debug log  in /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bphdb (make sure permissions are 777).

    Update:

    I tried to create dbclient on /usr/openv/ but netbackup does not write anything on client. Pls help

    This is because Oracle can't write the the directory - Change the directory permissions to 777

    Can we start at the beginning?

    Is this a new configuration?

    What steps have you followed up to now?

    Was oracle_link script executed on the client to link oracle library to NBU?

    Were 'traditional' rman scripts created on the client or are you using Oracle Intelligent Policies?

    Found the bphdb folder under /usr/openv/netbackup/logs to be helpful in these case especially the stderr file

    The same with the message log from rman and some times the oracle database's alert log

    As this seems to be an archive backup the first thing I would check, was if the oracle database is in archive log mode. In a SQL prompt do

    SQL> ARCHIVE LOG LIST
