Configuring the logon account for the NetBackup Client Service for NetBackup for Oracle
This topic applies to those that are running NetBackup for Oracle on a Windows platform.
Because the NetBackup Client Service is started by default under the SYSTEM account, you must also give special attention to database user authentication. The SYSTEM account does not have permission to connect to the target database if you use OS authentication instead of passwords.
If you use OS authentication, run the NetBackup client service under an account that has SYSDBA privileges.
For more information on OS authentication, see your Oracle documentation.
Note:
In a cluster environment, perform the steps on each database node in the cluster. For an off-host backup, perform the steps on the alternate client.
To configure the logon account for the NetBackup Client Service for NetBackup for Oracle
- Open the Windows Services application.
- Double-click the NetBackup Client Service entry.
- Click the Log On tab.
- Type the account name with SYSDBA privileges.
- Type the password.
- Click OK.
- Stop and start the NetBackup Client Service.
- Close the Services control panel application.
