virtual node backup fails with Probe had severe indication(s) at completion

You may wish to consider upgrading your client. Also, check nsrnmo script - if client side RMAN push works then usually it is nsrnmo script which needs some tweak to make scheduled backup work. Do you get anything in nsrnmo log?

Forgot to mention that it is Oracle 9i RAC and the NMO version is 4.1
According the nmo.messages, we are seeing the following errors

and so on.....

On a another note, we have discovered that for the last couple of days, the indexes for the physical node have started writing themselves to the CFI entry for the virtual node.
Thanks

I used NMO 4.2 for RAC and had no issues. You must use NSR_CLIENT in RMAN script - this is mandatory.

The contents of the rman script are as follows if it helps at all?

configure snapshot controlfile name to '/oraarch/CESP/snap_CESP.cf';
configure backup optimization off;
configure datafile backup copies for device type 'sbt_tape' to 1;
configure archivelog backup copies for device type 'sbt_tape' to 1;
configure datafile backup copies for device type disk to 1;
configure archivelog backup copies for device type disk to 1;
configure retention policy to recovery window of 14 days;

configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type 'sbt_tape'
to 'CESP_%F';
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk
to 'CESP_%F';

configure device type 'sbt_tape' parallelism 4;
configure channel device type 'sbt_tape' format = 'RMAN:/%d_%T_%U/'
parms 'ENV=(NSR_SERVER=mm1legc,
NSR_CLIENT=appcespa-t,
NSR_DATA_VOLUME_POOL=Oracle1M,
NSR_GROUP=0030Saves_MM)';
configure device type disk parallelism 4;
configure channel device type disk format '/oraback/CESP/%U';
configure default device type to sbt;

Thanks

Well, does it work?

I missed if you use catalog or not, if not try something like this:

rman nocatalog <{
  configure retention policy to recovery window of 7 days;
  configure default device type to 'SBT_TAPE';
  configure device type disk parallelism 4;
  configure device type 'SBT_TAPE' parallelism 4;
  configure controlfile autobackup on;
 
  configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to
'/opt/oracle/admin/${ORACLE_SID}/backup/cb.cf_%d_%T_%F';
  configure controlfile autobackup format for device type 'SBT_TAPE' to
'cb.cf_%d_%T_%F';
 
  configure channel device type disk format
'/opt/oracle/admin/${ORACLE_SID}/backup/cb.df_%d_%T_%U';
  configure channel device type 'SBT_TAPE' parms
'ENV=(NSR_SERVER=mm1legc,NSR_DATA_VOLUME_POOL=Oracle1M,NSR_SAVESET_RETENTION=Month,NSR_CLIENT=appcespa-t)'
format 'cb.df_%d_%T_%U';
 
  configure snapshot controlfile name to
'/opt/oracle/admin/${ORACLE_SID}/backup/snapcf_${ORACLE_SID}.f';
 
  show all;
}
 
exit;
 
EOF

However, I suspect backup command and nsrnmo script might be your issue given that client push works for you (which basically means you can ignore what I have posted above).
