Verifying installation requirements for BLI backups without RMAN
Verify the following requirements before you begin the installation.
To verify the installation requirements
Make sure that the following products are properly installed and configured:
NetBackup
A supported level of Oracle
NetBackup for Oracle
Arctera InfoScale for Oracle
- Verify licensing.
The products must have valid licenses. To check for licenses, enter the following commands based on your version:
For VxFS versions earlier than 3.5:
# vxlicense -p
For VxFS versions 3.5 or later:
# vxlicrep
The command displays all the valid licenses that are installed on the system. If you have valid licenses, the Storage Checkpoint feature and the Arctera InfoScale for Oracle appear in the list.
- Verify that both the NetBackup server (primary and media) and client software work properly.
Particularly, verify that you can back up and restore typical operating system files from the client.
