Envirenment

• Master Server: Netbackup-master (NBU 7.7.3)
• Source node: MC-PMS-DB(OEL6.7, Oracle database 11.2.0.4)
• Destination Client: MC-POSHIS-DB (OEL6.7, Oracle database 11.2.0.4)
• DBID=2147825860

requirements

1. Successful Netbackup backup of set.
2. Same version of database.
3. Record Source DBID/DATAFILE/TABLESPACE.
4. Install database software only on Destination client.
5. Install Netbackup client software on Destination client.

• Master&Media

Netbackup-master: ~# cat /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf 

• Source Client (MC-PMS-DB)

[oracle@MC-PMS-DB ~]$ cat /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf
SERVER = Netbackup-master
CLIENT_NAME = MC-PMS-DB
CONNECT_OPTIONS = localhost 1 0 2

• Destination Client (MC-POSHIS-DB)

[root@MC-POSHIS-DB ~]# cat /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf 
SERVER = Netbackup-master

Excute restore

Create initPMSDB.ora & orapwd file

copy pfile from Source client MC-PMS-DB OR create new one.
