Installing the NetBackup Agent for Oracle

1. Make sure you have all the software for the installation:
•NetBackup license (you can’t install without one)
•NetBackup server software for your platform (the current version is 6.0)
•NetBackup agent for Oracle software

2. Prepare the necessary hardware for the installation:
•Master server
•Media server
•Tape library

3. Install the NetBackup software on the master server, the media servers, and the database
(client) server. Test the communication from the master server to the database
server by issuing the following command:

$ cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin
$ ./bpclntcmd -pn
expecting response from server hounbupbs01-nbu
houcrspdb02-nbu.cce.star houcrspdb02-nbu 172.22.1.121 42546
$

The output shows that the master server (hounbupbs01-nbu) can be reached from the
client (houcrspdb02-nbu) where the database is running.


4. Check the master server and other parameters to make sure everything is correct:
$ cd /usr/openv/netbackup
$ ls
bin bp.conf client dbext ext help logs nblog.conf nblog.conf.template
$ cat bp.conf
SERVER = hounbupbs01-nbu
SERVER = hounbupbs01
MEDIA_SERVER = hounbupms01-nbu
SERVER = houjmp1w-nbu
SERVER = hounbupbs01-nbu.cce.starwoodhotels.com
MEDIA_SERVER = hounbupms02
CLIENT_NAME = houcrspdb02-nbu

5. Verify that the NetBackup daemons are running:
$ netstat -a | grep bpcd
tcp 0 0 *:bpcd *:* LISTEN
$ netstat -a | grep vnetd
tcp 0 0 *:vnetd *:* LISTEN


6. Verify that the licenses are all installed. Run the following command Grafic

$ /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/jnbSA

7. Insert the installation CD for NetBackup for Oracle, and mount the CD-ROM.
8. Log in as root on the database server.
9. Run the script ./install.
10. From the menu, choose the option NetBackup Database Agent.
11. When prompted, choose Y for local installation.
12. From the menu, choose NetBackup for Oracle.
13. Check the log files for any installation-related errors.
14. Now link Oracle to the NetBackup client. Log in to the database server box as the
Oracle software owner.
15. Shut down all the Oracle Databases running on the server under the Oracle Home.
16. Relink Oracle by running the script oracle_link:
$ cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin
$ ./oracle_link
17. This creates an output in the file /tmp/make_trace.. Check the file for errors.
