Hi there

I assume you are talking about Veritas Netbackp that's partner of Oracle Backup Solutions Program (BSP). If you already integrated your RMAN with it then you don't need to take cold backups (check Veritas documentation for how to integrate Oracle database with it). However if you are taking cold backup make sure your database is in shutdown state, you included all specified path mentioned in INIT file and controlfile.

Thanks

P.S: The document below will help you to understand the concept of Oracle/Veritas backup integration.
