Integrating Oracle and Data Protector

Configuring the Integration

Cluster-Aware Clients

If you intend to use the Data Protector CLI, set the Data Protector environment variable OB2BARHOSTNAME to the virtual server name. Set the variable on the Oracle Server system as follows:

Windows: set OB2BARHOSTNAME=<virtual_server_name>

UNIX: export OB2BARHOSTNAME=<virtual_server_name>

RAC: Configure an Oracle database on every node from where you want to run backups and restores.

HP-UX with RAC: If you want to use virtual hostname, create an MC/ServiceGuard package containing only the virtual IP and the virtual hostname parameters and distribute it among the RAC nodes.

 

Linking Oracle with the Data Protector Oracle

 

Integration Media Management Library (MML) on

 

UNIX

 

To use the Data Protector Oracle integration, you need to manually link

 

the Oracle server software and MML on the Data Protector Oracle

 

Server system.

 

MML is invoked by the Oracle server when it needs to write to or read

 

from devices using Data Protector.

 

 

IMPORTANT

After uninstalling the Data Protector Oracle integration on an Oracle

 

server system, the Oracle server software is still linked to MML. You

 

must re-link the Oracle binary to remove this link. If this is not done, the

 

Oracle server cannot be started after the integration has been removed.

 

See “Using Oracle After Removing the Data Protector Oracle Integration

 

on UNIX and OpenVMS Systems” on page 112 for information on

 

removing the integration link.

 

MC/ServiceGuard: When linking Oracle with MML, link it on all nodes.

 

 

On Oracle Server systems, MML is located in the directory:

 

HP-UX and Solaris: /opt/omni/lib

 

Other UNIX: /usr/omni/lib
