[AIX] Veeam Plug-in for Oracle RMAN (12.3.0.310)

[Parnassus]

Hi, a simple question: could the Veeam Plug-in for Oracle RMAN be deployed automatically and being consequently managed (as it happens with the Veeam Agent for IBM AIX 4.6) by the Veeam B&R Server? I was able to use a defined Protection Groups for Individual computers (for an AIX LPAR, in my case) to install the Agent but, despite the PG settings, the Oracle RMAN plug-in was not installed at all. Are there restrictions about the OS (AIX machine) absent with, maybe, Linux or Microsoft?

In another test we were able to install the plug-in manually (from the rpm) but it was not even recognized as installed by the Veeam B&R Server (we accepted the no managed property in that way of deployment but, at least, we though the B&R Server should have been able to report the Plug-in as installed on the (rescanned) machine.

Hi Davide,

No, it is not possible: the Veeam plug-in for Oracle RMAN on AIX cannot operate in managed mode, only standalone mode is currently available. Nevertheless, your feature request has been noted.

Thanks!

Hello would like to ask if https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/u ... tml?ver=13 can still apply on Oracle RMAN running on AIX

Hi Kelvin,

Yes, it still applies to Oracle RMAN on AIX. But maybe I didn't get the question, what makes you doubt?

Thanks!

apologies for the not being clear. Would like to confirm that standalone mode Oracle plugin can write to VHR? and is there a roadmap for managed mode?
