about device special file creation performed during the installob session.
Installing or Uninstalling Oracle Secure Backup on AIX
The installation and uninstallation procedures for AIX and Linux/UNIX are identical.
During Oracle Secure Backup installation, the Oracle Secure Backup admin user is
mapped by default to UNIX user root and UNIX group root. In this configuration,
Oracle Secure Backup requires that the user root be a member of the group root to
back up the file system successfully. AIX does not define a group root by default. If
the group root does not exist on your AIX system, then you must create it and make
user root a member of it.
Installing or Uninstalling Oracle Secure Backup on HP-UX
The installation and uninstallation procedures for HP-UX and Linux/UNIX are
identical.
Creating Attach Points with makedev
The makedev script in
single tape drive. Internally, the installob script calls makedev once for each tape
device specified during installation. Alternatively, you can run makedev outside of
installob to create all required attach points.
The makedev script can also replace an old attach point, rather than creating a new
one. If you reuse an Oracle Secure Backup LUN for a tape library or drive, then the
attach point for the old tape device is overwritten.
If you must create attach points for several tape devices, then it may be more
convenient to use the installob script.
