Then you might have a problem.... I don't know what versions of the database
you are running, you may or may not be able to use a downversion catalog.
Oracle provides a matrix that you can check to determine compatiblity.

To be honest - I couldn't just go with the latest version - even with
different versions of the RMAN catalog.

I agree with this approach 100%... always have the catalog at the
highest
version level of RMAN that you are operating. Of course, when installing
new
Oracle versioins, check the DOC's to make sure this still applies.

That combat ability matrix will give anyone a head ache. Rman Catalog
highest of any database I found was much easier  and safer to manage-
especially when you may have other people taking over the maintenance of
it.

Hi Paula,
You can certainly use the (8i/9i?) database on your Solaris server to=20
house a 10G RMAN catalog, the database version used to house the catalog

is largely irrelevant. What IS relevant is that you have a version of
RMAN=20
catalog that is compatible with the RMAN binary you are using on the=20
target database (which usually means the CATALOG must be at least the
same=20
version as the executable).

Whether you can use the same catalog to house 8i/9i/10g databases I am
not=20
sure, you'll have to check compatability for that but I have combined=20
8i/9i databases in a 9i catalog with no problem.

Regards

Graeme

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
