Installation and Configuration Overview
Introduction to Oracle Secure Backup 1-13
The contents of the CD-ROM and download archive are identical.
If you download the software from OTN, then you must store the downloaded file in a
temporary directory and extract the contents of the installation file.
Installation and Configuration Overview
You must install Oracle Secure Backup on your administrative server and on each
media server and client host in your administrative domain. During installation, the
installation software asks you to specify the roles played by each host. An
administrative domain typically includes an administrative server, one or more media
servers, and one or more client hosts.
The following steps provide an overview of Oracle Secure Backup installation and
configuration:
1. Create an Oracle Secure Backup administrative server.
a. Select a host to be the administrative server. This is the host you use to initiate
and manage backup and restore jobs.
b. Verify that this host meets the physical and network security requirements
discussed in "Choosing Secure Hosts for the Administrative and Media
Servers" on page 6-6
c. Verify that this host meets the system requirements discussed in "Disk Space
Requirements for Oracle Secure Backup" on page 1-11.
d. Install Oracle Secure Backup software on this host.
When this step is complete, the administrative domain is initialized. But the only
host included in the administrative domain at this point is the administrative
server.
2. Create Oracle Secure Backup media servers.
a. Select one or more hosts to be media servers. These hosts must have a tape
device or other secondary storage device attached.
b. Verify that this host meets the physical and network security requirements
discussed in "Choosing Secure Hosts for the Administrative and Media
Servers" on page 6-6
c. Verify that this host meets the system requirements discussed in "Disk Space
Requirements for Oracle Secure Backup" on page 1-11.
d. Install Oracle Secure Backup software, including the Oracle Secure Backup
device driver, on each of these hosts.
On UNIX and Linux platforms you are prompted during this step for Small
Computer System Interface (SCSI) device information. You obtain this
information using operating system-specific utilities, as described in
Appendix C, "Determining Linux SCSI Parameters".
3. Create Oracle Secure Backup clients.
Install Oracle Secure Backup software on each host with data to be backed up.
4. Configure the Oracle Secure Backup administrative domain.
Note: If you are installing Oracle Secure Backup on multiple
platforms, then you must download the ZIP file or acquire the
CD-ROM for each platform.
