There's a special set of commands to sync the RMAN & Netbackup catalogs. Check this technote:

The retention period in the policy is set to infinite for both the automatic and application backup schedules. I wanted to check that Netbackup would clean up the backups when I obsolete them in rman. But having done the obsolete in rman I have found that Netbackup has not removed the backup images from the tapes, even though they are gone from the rman catalog. I tried running "bpimage -cleanup -client <name>" but the bpdbm log showed that nothing was removed. There was an oddity with the Netbackup configuration on the client, when the original backup was made, the bp.conf contained the wrong client name. Could this be causing a problem, now that the client name has been changed? Am I on the wrong track here? According to the manual when rman deletes a backup-piece Netbackup should get rid of it regardless of the retention period. Does anyone know of a way I can sort this out, so that when rman deletes the backup, Netbackup does as well?
