Oracle credential types in the NetBackup Credential Management (CMS)
Note:
In NetBackup 10.3, you cannot use stored credentials to register instances or RAC databases. You must provide the credentials manually.
The NetBackup Credential Management (CMS) lets you store credentials in NetBackup to use for specific NetBackup operations.
In NetBackup 10.3, the following limitations apply for a stored credential that is created in Credential management:
You can only use a stored credential for a cloning operation. In the future stored credentials will be available for other operations.
An Oracle clone operation only supports the Oracle credential types
and . You cannot use or for cloning operations.The credential types
and are not supported and are reserved for future use.The credential option
can be used for cloning operations, but in this release NetBackup ignores the Oracle credentials.
Table: Credential types in Credential management describes the credential types that are available for performing Oracle cloning operations.

Use Oracle credentials | Reserved for future use. This type is not supported in NetBackup 10.3. |

For UNIX/Linux, the account must have Oracle DBA privileges. |
Use Oracle and operating system credentials | This option is supported in NetBackup 10.3 for use with Oracle cloning. However, NetBackup ignores the Oracle credentials. See the configuration requirements for . |
When you create a stored credential, you must also specify the Oracle Home User credentials when the target Oracle installation was installed using an OS account. (These credentials are not a virtual account or a Windows Built-in account like LocalSystem.)
The Oracle Home User can be any of the following: a Windows Built-in account or a Virtual account or a standard Windows user account that is not an Administrator account.
