Add a credential for an Oracle database or RMAN catalog
You can use a stored credential to register Oracle databases and for RMAN catalogs. This type of credential allows NetBackup to access an Oracle database or RMAN catalog.
For client versions 8.2 and earlier, NetBackup may require the database unique name to validate a credential. This information can be found by contacting your Oracle administrator or querying the database with the following command:
select DB_UNIQUE_NAME from v$database;
