Configuring NetWorker | 3Com NSR-ORA V3.2 guide

Installation and Configuration

Configuration

This configuration helps fulfill the requirements for the NSR-ORA administrator to define a backup schedule within NetWorker. The steps necessary for this are explained in the following section.

4.3.6Configuring NetWorker

To simplify the NetWorker configuration process, the tool configure_networker is provided for the first-time configuration. It is located in the directory $NSR_INST/oracle/config. Note that this tool requires the file dbo${ORACLE_SID}.init. The settings made by configure_networker correspond to those in section “Defining backup sets (save sets)” (tablespace backup at weekly intervals). If you want to split up the backup of the tablespaces the default is to create one client for each day of the week and an additional client for the full backup. However, the client for the full backup is then not active by default.

If you simply wish to carry out full backups then only the client for full backups is created (${ORACLE_SID}_full_save). Alternatively, a client for offline backups can also be added here (${ORACLE_SID}_offline).

The tool is called with

#configure_networker <createdelete> <ORACLE_SID>

You can erase a first-time configuration with the delete option (changes made after the first-time configuration with configure_networker are not erased).

While the tool is working you are prompted to enter the following information:

●the name of the NetWorker client on which NSR-ORA and the ORACLE database are installed

●the name of the NetWorker server by means of which the database is to be backed up

●the way in which the NetWorker server is to be configured. It depends on this which resources have to be defined on the NetWorker server:

–for backup only (backup; normal use)

–for mirroring only (mirror; configuration of the second NetWorker server for a dual backup of the redolog files)

–for both (both; normal use and mirroring)

Please check the settings that configure_networker made and compare them with the entries described in section “Parameters for configure_nsrora”.
