Problem Description:

4764505 Request for re-spin of VRTS ORACLE NB_ORA_45_4_M patch to Sun Patch

Patch Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Refer to the Install.info file within the patch for instructions on
using the generic 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided
with each patch.  Any other special or non-generic installation
instructions should be described below.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Special Install Instructions:
1. Log in as the Oracle user and shut down all Oracle instances.(Recommended)
 
As root on the NetBackup for Oracle client:
 
2. add Sun-patch
 
 
3. - Server Remote installation instructions:
 
 To run installation of database clients (including local box if present).
 Run update_dbclients script located at /usr/openv/netbackup/bin.
 
 Example:
        update_dbclients <dbextension_name> -ClientList <filename>
 
         or
 
        update_dbclients <dbextension_name> <hardware_type> <operating_system>
 
If the 32-bit NetBackup DataBase Agent is currently installed,
the script /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/update_dbclients will report
in the trace file:
 
        Extension version files match - no update needed.
 
  The following is displayed to standard output:
 
        [N_number] client update(s) had up-to-date software according to
        the database extension version file.
 
        To force the installation of the database extension software
        for these client updates, you need to execute:
 
        update_dbclients -ForceInstall <dbextension_name> -ClientList <filename>
 
         or
 
        update_dbclients -ForceInstall <dbextension_name> <hardware_type> <operating_system>
 
  For more information look in the NetBackup Oracle System Administrator's Guide.
 
3.  - Local installation instructions:
 
      Run  /usr/openv/netbackup/dbext/install_dbext
 
 
4. For every client to which you pushed the pack software in step 3, 
   the following steps must be performed:
 
   a.  Log in as the Oracle user on the client and copy the library to 
       the LIBOBK_LOCATION.
 
          If LIBOBK_LOCATION is not the same as /usr/openv/netbackup/bin
 
          cp /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.[so,sl] ${LIBOBK_LOCATION}
 
          cp /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/oracle_link ${LIBOBK_LOCATION}
 
5. Make the library visible to Oracle.
 
        For EBU:
           Add /usr/openv/netbackup/bin to the library search path
                set PATH=$PATH,/usr/openv/netbackup/bin
        For RMAN:
          Verify that the Oracle library is a link to the LIBOBK_LOCATION 
          library. If it is not, create a link:
 
          ln -s ${LIBOBK_LOCATION}/libobk.so64 \
                ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/libobk.so
 
          where LIBOBK_LOCATION is the pathname of the existing
          NetBackup for Oracle library. LIBOBK_LOCATION is typically
          /usr/openv/netbackup/bin.
 
6. Restart any Oracle instances.

the support technote 233482, available on www.support.veritas.com.
 
============================================
 
Description: 
    bpstart_notify creates CMDF=BLOCK_INCR/ora_cmd.$SID with default modes 
    0600/root/root.  Puts commands into file, but after the su oracle 
    cannot read the file. Hence the TABLES_FILE=BLOCK_INCR/tablespace.$SID 
    remains empty and the tablespaces are not put in backup mode.   
 
    (NetBackup Clients:  HP Solaris )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: 
    Alternate client restore for Oracle fails on Windows systems. The dbclient
    process incorrectly formulates the restore request and sets the destination
    client hostname to be the source hostname.  This results in the media
    server trying to connect to the source host for the restore rather than the
    target host.  The restore then fails with a status 54 error.

Description: 
    Support Oracle Advanced BLI Agent (Proxy Copy) with 64-bit Oracle on 
    Solaris systems.
 
    Support Oracle Advanced BLI Agent (Proxy Copy) with Oracle DB Edition demo 
    license keys. 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: 
    Oracle RMAN Backup and Restore wizard has been changed to perform an
    "alter database open" instead of a "shutdown immediate; startup" if the user
    has selected the option to start the database after the backup or restore
    has occurred.
