Add an Oracle database instance group
This procedure lets you create an instance group that includes instances with a common set of credentials. You can create a default instance group for newly-discovered instances. Then you can create a policy that uses this instance group to automatically protect the new instances. Oracle RAC databases cannot be added to an instance group.
To create an Oracle database instance group
- In the web UI, on the left expand Workloads > Oracle.
- Click the Instance groups tab.
- Click Add.
- Enter the Instance group name.
Note:
NetBackup does not support non-US ASCII characters in the instance group name.
- Select the wanted credential type and provide the authorization details. Then click Finish.
- To assign individual instances to this instance group continue with following steps:
Click the Instances tab.
Locate the instance and click Actions > Manage credentials.
Click Add to group and register using group credentials.
Select the instance group from the list.
Click Finish.
- Repeat for each instance that you want included in the instance group.
- You may want to make this instance group the default for all newly discovered instances. If so, all newly discovered instances are automatically added to this instance group. More information is available about auto-registering an instance group.
