Me too Graeme.  It is the Oracle rman binaries which sometimes required the 
same (and not a higher version).  So I have the following:
 
In fact, what I do is call this in all my KSHELL scripts for backups and 
recoveries and based on the database it handles the Oracle homes and (if 
necessary) catalog with a different RMANID string.  It works and once I set it 
up for the databases (at initial install) I don't have to modify.  I just copy 
my backup script and change the $DBNAME variable and I am done.  
 
case $DBNAME in
"ods") INTERNAL=user/pass

ORACLE_SID=ods

TARGET=user/pass

ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0

RMANID= <mailto:RMANID=user/pass@rmanconnectstring> user/pass@rmanconnectstring

;;

"empidev") INTERNAL=user/pass

ORACLE_SID=empidev

TARGET=user/pass

ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0

RMANID= <mailto:RMANID=user/pass@rmanconnectstring> user/pass@rmanconnectstring

Hi Paula, 

You can certainly use the (8i/9i?) database on your Solaris server to 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 catalog that is 
compatible with the RMAN binary you are using on the target database (which 
usually means the CATALOG must be at least the same version as the executable). 

Whether you can use the same catalog to house 8i/9i/10g databases I am not 
sure, you'll have to check compatability for that but I have combined 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 =
I have setup a centralized rman catalog and for redundancy another copy =
of the same.  Here is my concern:

We are going to be installing a new instance of 10G on Linux.  I =
currently have my centralized RMAN running on Solaris - could I backup =
the 10G databases on Linux with RMAN on Solaris - would I need to have =
10G RMAN on Solaris to make that happen?

Thanks,
Paula
