Protecting Oracle Database Appliance - Tape Backup with Oracle Secure Backup
6
From the above output the Oracle StorageTek tape library (STK SL150) and two HP LTO-6 (Ultrium 6) drives are
present.
Oracle Secure Backup Configuration
Oracle Secure Backup configuration for tape backup with the Oracle Database Appliance is comprised of several
tasks including setup at the OS level, installation of the Oracle Secure Backup software, tape library configuration,
tape drive configuration, Oracle Database authorization, and RMAN script setup.
Modify /etc/hosts files
Modification of the /etc/hosts files on the Oracle Secure Backup Administrative/Media Server and database
nodes depends on which network interface will be used for backup, and the DNS setup in the environment. If the
primary network is used for backup, and all hosts are in DNS, no changes to /etc/hosts files are required. If DNS,
or another naming service, is not available, then the Oracle Secure Backup Administrative/Media Server needs to
be added to /etc/hosts on each database node and each database node needs to be added to /etc/hosts on the
Oracle Secure Backup Administrative/Media Server. The example and screen shots in this paper detail setup of a
backup solution using the primary public Ethernet interface. If you plan to use one of the additional interfaces
available on the Oracle Database Appliance for backups over a private network, please see the Private Network
Configuration section near the end of this document for details on that configuration.
Install Oracle Secure Backup
The GUI is used to illustrate the installation and configuration steps below, but all steps can also be completed via
the command line interface (obtool) or Oracle Enterprise Manager (EM). A listing of commands is available in the
Oracle Secure Backup documentation.
1. Install Oracle Secure Backup on the server designated as the Oracle Secure Backup Administrative/Media
Server (xman2) and on the database nodes (hamms1 and hamms2). Generally all defaults will be chosen
during the installation, but answer installation questions per your environment, and refer to the Oracle Secure
Backup documentation for further details.
During installation define each server with the following roles:
xman2 = Administrative Server, Media Server, and Client
hamms1 = Client
hamms2 = Client
After installation and prior to configuring Oracle Secure Backup, modify the following parameters to ensure
the correct interface will be used when transferring data from the Oracle Database Appliance to the Oracle
Secure Backup server:
[root@xman2 ~]# obtool setp operations/disablerds yes
[root@xman2 ~]# obtool setp testing/supressrdma yes
[root@xman2 ~]# obtool setp testing/useloadbalance no
