PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 Oracle RMAN User Guide

Storage unit considerations

Oracle RMAN agent 19.6 and earlier releases do not support the mapping structure that allows protection policies to share the same storage unit. Backups of databases that are protected by older agents and different policies cannot target the same storage unit.

PowerProtect Data Manager 19.7 and later releases contain logic that detects this condition when you add or edit a protection policy. The policy rules alert you to the conflict and fall back to the previous structure that mapped one policy to one storage unit. You can resolve this condition by updating the Oracle RMAN agent to release 19.7 or later.

All references in this guide for configuring a protection policy to target an existing storage unit apply in the context of protecting databases with Oracle RMAN agent 19.7 or later installed on the host.
