Adding Tape Devices to an Administrative Domain
Configuring and Managing the Administrative Domain 5-21
1.
This command creates the Oracle Secure Backup host object associated with the
media server to which the VTL is attached.
mkhost --access ob --ip ipname osb_media_server
2. This command creates the Oracle Secure Backup host object associated with the
embedded NDMP server contained within the VTL.
mkhost --access ndmp --ip ipname ndmp_server
3. This command configures an Oracle Secure Backup device object that is associated
with the virtual library vlib.
mkdev --type library --class vtl
--attach osb_media_server:/dev/obl0,ndmp_media_server:/dev/sg0 vlib
This library and its drives are accessible through the Oracle Secure Backup media
server and the embedded NDMP server.
4. This command configures an Oracle Secure Backup device object that is associated
with virtual tape drive vdrive1, which is contained in the virtual library vlib.
mkdev --type tape --library vlib --dte 1
--attach osb_media_server:/dev/obt0,ndmp_media_server:/dev/nst0 vdrive1
This command must be repeated for each tape drive in the virtual tape library.
5. This command configures an Oracle Secure Backup device object that is associated
with the physical library plib.
mkdev --type library --attach ndmp_media_server:/dev/sg1 plib
This library and its drives are accessible only through the embedded NDMP
server.
6. This command configures an Oracle Secure Backup device object that is associated
with tape drive pdrive1, which is contained in the physical library plib.
mkdev --type tape --library plib --dte 1
--attach ndmp_media_server:/dev/nst1 pdrive1
Adding a Tape Device Attachment
Oracle Secure Backup distinguishes between a tape device and a device attachment. A
device attachment is the means by which that tape device is connected to a host. Each
tape device can have one or more attachments, where each attachment describes a data
path to the tape device from a host in the administrative domain.
An attachment is defined by the identity of the host to which the tape device is
attached, and one of these names that represents the tape device on the host:
■ Linux or UNIX attach point name
■ Windows device name
■ NAS device name
See Also: Oracle Secure Backup Administrator's Guide for more
information on NDMP copy-enabled virtual tape libraries
Note: For some older NAS devices, Oracle Secure Backup requires
additional information to complete the attachment definition.
