Recovery Manager for Oracle User’s Guide
3 If you are using the menu-driven application, from the backup host:
a Select option 1, Configuration Administration.
b Select option 1, Create a backup Configuration.
4 When prompted, press
ENTER.
◆ Enter ORACLE_SID of the database instance [h=help,q=quit]?
Enter ORACLE_SID of the database instance that you want to configure. If the database
is an RAC database, enter ORACLE_SID of any RAC instance.
◆ Enter hostname of the primary (database) server [h=help,q=quit]?
Enter the host name of the corresponding database server where the specified database
instance is running.
◆ Select remote shell command [r=rsh,s=ssh,h=help,q=quit]?
This question is only for Solaris systems. SSH is the only connection method supported
by Recovery Manager for Linux systems. Recovery Manager requires that either RSH
(Solaris only) or SSH is configured to allow remote accesses between the backup host,
the primary host, the InServ Storage Server, and Veritas NetBackup server.
Enter
r for RSH, or s for SSH.
◆ Enter ORACLE_HOME on the primary host [h=help,q=quit]?
Recovery Manager provides a default value for the ORACLE_HOME of the specified
database instance if it can be retrieved from the
oratab file.
Press
ENTER to accept default value or enter the ORACLE_HOME location of the specified
database instance.
◆ Enter ORACLE_HOME on the backup host [h=help,s=skip,q=quit]?
Recovery Manager assumes that the ORACLE_HOME on the backup host is the same as
the ORACLE_HOME on the primary host for the created clone database and RMAN
backup. If you don’t intend to startup the clone database using the virtual copy on the
backup host, you may skip it.
NOTE: RMAN backup requires the cloned database in mounted status. Therefore,
ORACLE_HOME must be installed on the backup host.
