Add an Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC)
Use this procedure to add an Oracle RAC and the appropriate credentials. Once an Oracle RAC is added, you can create a policy in the web UI to schedule a backup of the Oracle RAC.
Add an Oracle RAC
- On the left, click Workloads > Oracle and then click RAC databases.
- In the RAC databases tab, click Actions and select Add RAC.
- Enter all the required information for the Oracle RAC database and then click Next.
- Enter all the required information for an Oracle RAC instance and then:
Click Finish to add the Oracle RAC and the instance. Select this option to add the RAC to NetBackup without credentials. The credentials can be added at a later time.
Click Add and manage credential to add credentials for the Oracle RAC database at this time. Choose the credential option for this RAC:
Use Oracle Wallet. Enter the Oracle Wallet folder location. The folder location must be on a file system.
Using Oracle Wallet requires these items:
The same path for each node of the cluster.
Each instance must have its own entry in a shared wallet.
You must put a specific connection identifier in the wallet.
For more information about the connect identifier:
A single instance must have the path to the wallet and the Net service name (TNS alias).
RAC database credentials. Enter a username and password.
Use Oracle RMAN recovery catalog. Select this option and enter a username, password, and the Net service name (TNS alias). This option can be used with Oracle Wallet but it must be the same wallet as the database connection.
Enter the appropriate credential information for the Oracle RAC and then click Add credentials.
