There is a Metalink note (73431.1) which talks about
the rman version compatibility, but it also states:
"Ensure that the RMAN executable version matches the
version of the target database that it is backing up"
which I presume to mean that you need to run rman from
each target and "push" to the catalog & storage
management node(s). This is how I've always seen it
done - but I've often wondered if one could get away
driving eveything from the catalog node, pulling
client databases over sqlnet - thus only having a
single TSM client (and license) on the rman catalog
node.
