We are running Netbackup 7.6.0.1 on OEL 5.8 and using Oracle Intelligent Policies to backup mostly Oracle 11.2.0.4 and .3
I want to create an instance group to put in the database credentials for a group. We are using Database authentication as well as an RMAN catalog.
When I create a new instance group and select Oracle authentication it asks for username, password as well as the Net service name (TNS alias). Which is a little bit of an issue since each database instance has a different tns alias.
Does this mean I can't use instance groups if we are using Oracle authentication? If I don't fill in the net service name it fails on validation with an error "rman catalog credentials could not be validated". Putting a netservice name in, and the validation is successfull (without touching the rman credentials)
Solved! Go to Solution.

Ive gone down the intelligent policy route and cant see how I can use the group feature, but am more than happy with it as it is given it cuts out a whole load of faffing with accounts. Jim

Hi Jim
I can use a instance group when we only use OS authentication only. Then it works like a charm, one group one set of credentials.
I would have liked to use the db authentication in same way ....
