NetBackup™ for Oracle Administrator's Guide

Configure discovery of Oracle clients

By default, this service is enabled to report instances. However, you can use the REPORT_CLIENT_DISCOVERIES client configuration entry to shut down or restart the service on a particular client. By default, REPORT_CLIENT_DISCOVERIES is not present in the Windows registry or the UNIX bp.conf file.

To change the default setting, use bpsetconfig to add or change the entry:

  • In the Windows registry.

  • In the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file on UNIX.

Use the following format: REPORT_CLIENT_DISCOVERIES = TRUE | FALSE

Set REPORT_CLIENT_DISCOVERIES to FALSE to shut down the discovery service. The service shuts down within 10 minutes and remains down on the client. To turn on the discovery service on that client, set REPORT_CLIENT_DISCOVERIES to TRUE or remove the entire entry. Then run bp.start_all on the client to restart the service.

To set this value on a client remotely, run the following command from the primary server:

echo REPORT_CLIENT_DISCOVERIES=FALSE | bpsetconfig -h clientname
