Hi Paula,
We have a centralized Rman setup here. The system is HP and I have an
Rman wrapper written in Kshell.
Luckily, I created it with almost no system dependancies so that when we
wanted to add Rman backups to the windows servers it was very simple. I
would guess that windows would be more difficult to add than Linux.
The rule of thumb is have the Catalog datase at a higher level of OS
than the databases you are backing up so I would say yes have 10G on
Solaris. That's how I would go but then again I tend to error on the
side of safety. I have found some strange things working with multiple
versions of Oracle DB and Rman which have led me to this point.
(Sometimes backups worked fine..recovery tanked..not fun). Unless Oracle
Docs specifically stated it was ok, I would always have the Catalog the
highest OS level.
Brian

Subject: rman centralized backup server
Guys,
In order to manage and provide easier d/r for the oracle infrastructure
=3D I have setup a centralized rman catalog and for redundancy another
copy =3D of the same. Here is my concern:
We are going to be installing a new instance of 10G on Linux. I =3D
currently have my centralized RMAN running on Solaris - could I backup =
=3D
the 10G databases on Linux with RMAN on Solaris - would I need to have =
=3D
10G RMAN on Solaris to make that happen?
Thanks,
Paula
