Installing Oracle Secure Backup on Linux or UNIX with installob
Installing Oracle Secure Backup on Linux or UNIX 2-9
You determined the roles for each host when planning your administrative
domain. Choose one of these options:
■ Enter a to install the software for an administrative server.
If you choose this option, then installob also installs the software required
for the media server and client roles.
■ Enter b to install the software for a media server.
If you choose this option, then installob also installs the software required
for the client role.
■ Enter c to install the software for a client.
You can add or remove a role later with the chhost command in obtool.
This procedure describes installation for an administrative server.
5. Create a password for the Oracle Secure Backup keystore.
The installob script prompts for a password for the keystore and then prompts
you to re-enter the password. Oracle recommends that you choose a password of
at least 8 characters in length that contains a mixture of alphabetic and numeric
characters. When you enter the password, the password is not echoed to the
display.
6. Create a password for the Oracle Secure Backup administrative server.
The installob script asks for a password for the admin user, and then asks you
to reenter it for confirmation. Oracle recommends that you choose a password of
at least 8 characters in length, containing a mixture of alphabetic and numeric
characters. When you type in the password, your entry is not echoed to the
display.
The minimum password length is determined by the minuserpasswordlen
security policy. Its default value is 0, which means a null password is permitted.
You can change the value of minuserpasswordlen by setting the minimum
user password length parameter in the obparameters file.
Note:
■ If you choose an administrative server or media server
installation, then installob installs the software necessary for the
media server role. However, the host does not have the media
server role until the admin user grants that role with the chhost
command after Oracle Secure Backup is installed.
■ To add the media server role to an administrative server or client
after initial installation, you must create attach points using
makedev or installob. See Oracle Secure Backup Reference for
details.
