Enabling the debug logs manually (UNIX)
To create the NetBackup for Oracle for UNIX database agent logs manually
- Create the following directories on the client:
bphdb
For any backup that is initiated from an automated schedule on the master server.
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bphdb
bpdbsbora
For any OIP backup restore operations.
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpdbsbora
dbclient
For any backup or restore using RMAN.
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/dbclient
bpbkar
For any snapshot backup.
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpbkar
nbtar
For any snapshot restore.
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/tar
- Verify the user or group that the Oracle process (process that loads libobk) has appropriate permissions to write to the following directories if they exist. If the following directories do not exist, the directories are created automatically with the correct permissions.
/usr/openv/logs/user_ops
/usr/openv/logs/user_ops/dbext
/usr/openv/logs/user_ops/dbext/logs
Also verify that the user or group that the Oracle process runs as has appropriate permissions to write to the log directories in step 1.
- On the NetBackup server or servers, create the debug log directories for the legacy processes that interact with the Oracle agent.
On the master server:
/usr/openv/logs/bprd
On the media server or servers:
/usr/openv/logs/bpbrm
/usr/openv/logs/bptm
- The debug logs for unified processes on the server and the client hosts are created automatically by NetBackup.
NetBackup writes unified logs to /usr/openv/logs.
