Automatic Registration of an instance group
The Oracle Discovery Service brings newly discovered instances into the instance repository. Auto Registration is a mechanism that allows a discovered instance to be brought into the repository as a member of an instance group. The instance assumes the credentials of the group and is automatically registered.
To auto-register an instance group
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand NetBackup Management > Applications > Oracle.
- Click Instance Groups, then on the Actions menu, select Auto Registration. The following dialog box appears:
- In the Automatic Registration dialog box, click the Automatically register newly discovered instances. Then select the desired instance group from the pulldown menu.
- (Conditional) Use the Override default Unix TNS_ADMIN path and or the Override default Windows TNS_ADMIN path if you need to override the default network administration directory on the client system. Enter the fully qualified path for the correct operating system. You can automatically register instances in Windows, UNIX, or a combination of both operating systems. The following dialog box shows an example of this parameter:
- Click OK to return to the Instances display. All newly discovered instances are automatically added to the specified instance group and registered with the group credentials.
- A validation report shows if the instances passed or failed. Do one of the following:
Click OK to save the credentials anyway. The instance is added to the instance list. However, instances with invalidated credentials cannot be selected as part of an Oracle policy. Their backups fail with a 54xx status error.
Click Cancel to go back and change the credentials.
