Resolution: On the master server, search for disallow statements by running the following command:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpgetconfig | grep -i disallow
On a Windows master server, run the command:
<install_path>\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpgetconfig
Look for the following in the output:
DISALLOW_CLIENT_LIST_RESTORE = YES
DISALLOW_CLIENT_RESTORE = YES
The first thing the Oracle backup does is run a
bplist command to verify the backup image it wants to write is not already present. Because NetBackup is configured not to allow the list of restores, the backup fails. This behavior is changed in the referenced "fixed in" version. Oracle backups no longer fail with the "fixed in" versions due to client list/restore restrictions.
Resolve this by removing the two disallow statements from the master server's
bp.conf file (or from the registry on a Windows master server). For a UNIX master server, the
bp.conf file can be manually edited with any text editor. Both Windows master servers and UNIX master servers can modify these values by using the NetBackup Administrative Console.
Open the NetBackup Administrative Console, and from under
Host Properties, select the master server. In the
Client Attributes section, confirm the
Global Attributes are set to allow client browse and restore. Also, confirm that the Oracle client does not have any additional limitations on the ability to browse for, or restore files.
Restart the master server's NetBackup daemons or services after making these changes to the master's configuration.
