Oracle 10g configuration

This section describes how to set up a new backup specification or modifying already existing backup specifications in order to support deduplication of Oracle 10g on a HP VLS system.

Creating a backup specification

This section explains the basic steps to create an Oracle backup specification from scratch.

Select the Backup context in the Data Protector GUI and create a new Oracle backup specification by right clicking “Oracle Server” and selecting “Add Backup….”

Figure 1:

It is recommended to use a special Oracle deduplication template when creating the backup specification. A lot of configuration steps are not needed then. This will minimize the effort if you have to create many backup specifications. See the How to create a Data Protector RMAN template to backup Oracle 10g sub-section on how to create this template.

Select the Deduplication template and click OK.
