You now have all of the files required to install Oracle Secure Backup release 10.3.
Preparing to Install Oracle Secure Backup on Linux and UNIX
Perform the following actions before installing Oracle Secure Backup:
Select hosts for the administrative server, media server, and client roles, as
■
described in
Collect the SCSI parameters for each tape drive and tape library attached to your
■
Linux and UNIX media servers. You need this information when creating an
attach point for each tape device.
Disable any system software that scans and opens arbitrary SCSI targets before
■
adding Oracle Secure Backup tape devices to an administrative domain. If Oracle
Secure Backup must contend with other system software (such as monitoring
software) for access to tape libraries and drives, then unexpected behavior can
result.
If you are installing Oracle Secure Backup in an Oracle RAC environment, then
■
you must install Oracle Secure Backup on each node in the cluster.
Creating the Oracle Secure Backup Home
You must create an Oracle Secure Backup home. The Oracle Secure Backup setup
program uses this directory to store installation files specific to your host.
To create the Oracle Secure Backup home:
Log into the host as root.
1.
Run the following command:
2.
# mkdir -p /usr/local/oracle/backup
"Installation and Configuration Overview"
Oracle recommends that you use
Note:
/usr/local/oracle/backup as your Oracle Secure Backup home.
If you use a different directory, then the setup program prompts you
to confirm your selected directory.
Note:
To enable users other than root to use obtool or the Oracle
Secure Backup Web tool, install Oracle Secure Backup to a file system
that can use the suid mechanism. You can do this by excluding the
nosuid option from the /etc/fstab file entry for that file system.
