However, you can use Veritas NB"s special version of TAR (stii GNU tar,
but they decided it is theirs own:-) to restore RMAN backupsets
from tape to disk, even without VNB Media server etc -
just with standalone tapedrive (must be the same as Media Server"s one)
After this, just catalog backupsets and recover
I am not talking it is easy - but as last resort - will work.
For everyday business operations,
You MUST find the way (temporary net patching etc) for RMAN
to talk to original VNB Medai Server
