NetBackup™ for Oracle Administrator's Guide

Manually add a database

Newly discovered Oracle databases on clients are automatically added to the NetBackup database. However, you may not want to wait for the discovery service to discover a new database. In this case you can add a database.

To manually add a database

  1. On the left, click Workloads > Oracle and then click Databases.
  2. Click Add.
  3. For the Database type, select from the following options.
    • To add a RAC database, select RAC.

    • To add a RAC One Node database, select RAC One Node.

    • To add a single instance database, select Single Instance.

  4. To register Oracle Wallet credentials with a database, additional fields are required when you add the database.

    RAC. The configuration must include the Oracle Wallet path.

    RAC One Node. The configuration must include the Oracle Wallet path.

    Single instance database. The configuration must include the TNS name (the Net service name or TNS alias) and the Oracle Wallet path.

    See Configure an Oracle Wallet with RAC within NetBackup.

  5. Enter all the other required information for the database.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Enter all the required information for the Oracle instance and click Next.
  8. (Conditional) For the database types RAC or RAC One Node, add any additional instances.
  9. Add any RBAC roles that you want to have access to the database. Then click Next.
  10. To associate the database with an RMAN catalog, select Select the RMAN catalog to be associated with the database. Then select the RMAN catalog from the list.
  11. Choose from the following options.
    • To add the database without credentials, click Finish. The credentials can be added at a later time.

    • To register the database with a credential, continue with step 12.

  12. Click Manage credentials and follow the prompts.

    More information is available on the credential types for Oracle.

    See Oracle credential types in the NetBackup Credential management.
