Installing Plug‑in for Oracle in a multi-instance database environment is almost identical to installing it in a single-instance database environment. The plug-in is installed on one of the nodes that hosts one of the instances for the RAC-enabled database. All RMAN-based backups and restores are performed from this single installation of the plug-in. Installing the plug-in is a two-step process:
|
1 |
Install the NetVault Backup Client software. |
|
2 |
Configuring Plug‑in for Oracle in a multi-instance RAC environment is almost identical to configuring the plug-in in a single-instance, non-RAC environment except for the items identified in the following topics.
|
• |
NetVault Backup (required for RMAN backups in a RAC environment): Specify the name of the NetVault Backup Server where the Oracle Database Server was added as a NetVault Backup Client. |
|
• |
Do Restores from NetVault Backup Server (required for RMAN backups in a RAC environment): Specify the name of the NetVault Backup Server where the Oracle Database Server was added as a NetVault Backup Client. |
|
• |
CLI Backup/Autobackup Target Set (required for RMAN backups in a RAC environment): Specify the name of the Backup Target Set that was specified in the Configuring a default Target Set for RMAN backups. |
In a multi-instance RAC environment, the local SID and Oracle Home can be determined with the srvctl config database commands.
|
1 |
|
3 |
Run the following command, where <database_name> represents the database that is being added to the plug-in: |
In the following example, Plug‑in for Oracle is being installed on the “faro” node, the local Oracle SID is “o10rac3,” and the local Oracle Home is “/home/o10g/db.”
