Registering an Oracle database instance
The NetBackup Discovery Service discovers Oracle database instances on the local client host. The service reports to the master server upon startup and every 4 hours thereafter. The master server collects the discovered instances in an instance repository. The user accesses the repository on the NetBackup Administration Console or by running the nboraadm command.
See the nboraadm description in the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
Use the following procedure to register an Oracle database instance that the discovery service adds to the instance list.
To register an Oracle database instance
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand NetBackup Management > Applications > Oracle.
- Click All Instances. The right pane displays a list of instances. Instances that have previously been registered show a date and time in the Registered column.
- Double-click the instance that you want to register. The Edit Instance dialog box appears. For example, you can select ORAC13 to display the following:
You can select multiple instances to register at the same time.
- (Conditional) Use the Override Default TNS_ADMIN Path if you need to override the default network administration directory on the client system. Enter the fully qualified path for the network administration directory on this host. Click Help to display a description of the parameter. Example of the parameter:
- In the Register Instance dialog box, click Use Instance Credentials.
The Oracle database user is required to have a certain level of credentials. The Oracle database user must have
SYSBACKUP
orSYSDBA
privileges (based on version of Oracle). - In the right pane of the Applications dialog, check the Registered column to see that the instance is now registered.
- Repeat for all other instances that you want registered.
