Looking for Netbackup 6.0 MP6 Linux x86_64 oracle agent

Hi All,

We are working with Netbackup 6.0 MP6 and looking for an Oracle Agent for a Linux X86_64 client.
It will have to backup a Oracle 11G database.

Can someone please let me know how to find this peace of software ?

Thanks in advance !

First you need to install the 6.0 Lotus agent.  It's on your "Agents & Options" media.  If you don't have that CD, you'll need to download an ISO from FileConnect.  You'll need a serial number for THAT.  Here's a TechNote:

How to obtain the installation source download and license keys for NetBackup Server, NetBackup Enterprise Server, and components.

(Let me move back one MORE step - if you need to install the NetBackup 6.0 client, you'll need a different CD/ISO for THAT.)

To bring it up to 6.0 MP6, download and apply the following packs as needed:

Maintenance Pack NB_CLT_60_6_M.tar provides fixes for the Veritas NetBackup (tm) Enterprise Server / Server 6.0 on UNIX clients. NetBackup UNIX Add-on products and Database Agents have separate Maintenance Packs.

Maintenance Pack NB_ORA_60_6_M.tar provides updates and fixes for Veritas NetBackup (tm) Enterprise Server / Server 6.0 for Oracle Database Agent on UNIX platforms.
 http://support.veritas.com/docs/300499

Now, hopefully you have already checked to make sure that the O/S and architecture are supported for Oracle 11g, right?  Otherwise, I've had you download and apply a lot of stuff that STILL won't help you.  Refer to the table here:

NetBackup (tm) 6.x Database Agent Compatibility (Updated December 8 2009)
 http://support.veritas.com/docs/279048

You didn't say WHICH Linux, but there seem to be a few that do have Oracle 11g support starting with 6.0 MP6.

Good luck!

Thank you very much for all the information.

It looks like we are trying something that is just not possible.
We are using a X64 linux client and we want to backup an Oracle 11G R2 database with a Windows Netbackup 6.0 MP6 enterprise server.

The compatibility list says that it's not possible.
Or does somebody know another way? (updating to a newer version netbackup excluded ;) )

Unfortunately, I don't think you're going to see that compatibility included in the 6.0 line... now OR in the future.
