released channel: ch00
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE

This looks more like an Oracle issue then Netbackup issue.

A call to Oracle was attempted when no connection was established. Usually this happens because a user-written program has not logged on. It may happen if communication trouble causes a disconnection. In addition, this message could occur when ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION or ALTER SYSTEM DISCONNECT SESSION were issued with the IMMEDIATE qualifier because, in those cases, the client's connection to the database is terminated without waiting for the client to issue a request.

I would check with your Oracle DBA and see if they can initiate a manual RMAN job successfully to a disk dump.

Check the command ps -eaf | grep -i pmon and see if database you are trying to backup is up if it is not up you will not be able to take online hot backup
