Veritas NetBackup™ for SAP Administrator's Guide

Linking the Oracle instances with the SBT library (UNIX or Linux Oracle databases with RMAN only)

Perform the linking procedures that are described in this topic only if you use NetBackup for SAP with an Oracle database and RMAN. The exact linking command to use depends on your operating system platform.

Note:

You must link Oracle with the SBT library for all Oracle instances on the host that are planned to be backed up through NetBackup for SAP using RMAN. Whenever a new Oracle instance is added it must also be similarly linked.

Link the library with NetBackup when:

  • Using NetBackup for SAP for the first time.

  • Adding a new SAP instance that should be backed up with NetBackup for SAP with RMAN.
