    1) You do not need to install the DBs on the same machine in order to share the same recovery catalog
    2) I am not sure if DBs in different versions can share same recovery catalog

    (i)I have 9 production database on oracle 8 for which i am using
    Recovery Manager: Release 8.0.6.0.0 - Production
    (ii)I have 2 production database on oracle 9i for which i am using
    Recovery Manager: Release 9.2.0.2.1 - Production

    After long discussion i got a machine to maintain rcvcat
    now I am going to maintain (i)oracle 8 rcvcat in this new machine

    Now my doubt is can i have oracle 9i home so that i can maintain
    the catalog of (ii)

    Create 1 9i Catalog. It can backup up your 8 and 9i databases. No need to have 2 catalogs.

    Well, the problem is you start the RMAN at the rcvcat host.
    Go to the database host and issue
    rman target / catalog rman/rman@allias
    RMAN> register database

    And go further
