System - HP Data Protector A.06.11 Integration Manual

• Ensure that the Oracle software on the backup system and application system
have the same directory structure. That means that ORACLE_HOME for both Oracle
installations has to be identical.
• Ensure that the following files are the same on the application system and the
backup system. Check also that the permissions are identical as on the application

system:

• names.ora
Default path: ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/names.ora
• initDB_NAME.ora
Default path: ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initDB_NAME.ora.
• orapwDB_NAME
Default path: ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwDB_NAME
• admin/DB_NAME
Default path: ORACLE_BASE/admin/DB_NAME
Ensure that the Oracle net services on the application system and the backup
system have the same directory structure. This can be accomplished by either
NFS sharing of the files, manually copying the files from the application system
to the backup system, or by using the UNIX rdist or tar commands to distribute
the files from the application system.
• Test whether the Oracle user can log in to the Oracle target database as the
Oracle database administrator and to the Oracle recovery catalog database as
the Oracle recovery catalog owner from the backup system:
1. Export ORACLE_HOME, DB_NAME, and on UNIX also SHLIB_PATH variables.
2. Using SQL*Plus, connect to the Oracle recovery catalog database by
specifying the user (recovery catalog owner), password, and net connect
identifier.
