Adding Tape Devices to an Administrative Domain

Configuring and Managing the Administrative Domain 5-21

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.
