Using Oracle Secure Backup in Enterprise Manager
Oracle Secure Backup User Interfaces 4-3
Registering an Administrative Server in Oracle Enterprise Manager
You can make RMAN backups to the Oracle Secure Backup SBT interface three ways:
■ Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control
■ Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control
■ RMAN command-line client
The Database Control console must run on the administrative server and can only
back up an Oracle database on the administrative server. You can run the Grid Control
console on any database host in the administrative domain and use it to back up any
database. This section describes how to get started with Database Control.
To use Enterprise Manager to manage your backups, you must make Enterprise
Manager aware of your administrative server, which stores the configuration data and
catalog for the Oracle Secure Backup administrative domain. To register the
administrative server in Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control:
1. Log in to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control console as a user with
database administrator rights.
2. In the Oracle Secure Backup section, click Oracle Secure Backup Device and
Media.
The Add Administrative Server page appears.
3. Log in to your Oracle Secure Backup administrative domain as follows:
a. Enter the Oracle Secure Backup home directory in the Oracle Secure Backup
Home field. This directory is usually /usr/local/oracle/backup on
UNIX and Linux and C:\Program Files\Oracle\Backup on Windows.
b. Enter the name of an Oracle Secure Backup administrative user in the
Username field. For example, enter admin.
c. Enter the password for the Oracle Secure Backup administrator in the
Password field.
d. Click OK.
The Host Credentials page appears.
4. Enter the username and password of the operating system user on the
administrative server. This user needs root privileges.
The Oracle Secure Backup Device and Media: Administrative Server: hostname
page appears. You can use this page to load tapes.
After you have registered the administrative server, you are ready to use Oracle
Enterprise Manager with Oracle Secure Backup.
Accessing the Web Tool from Enterprise Manager
The Oracle Enterprise Manager console for a database provides a link to the Oracle
Secure Backup Web tool. You can use this link when you need access to Oracle Secure
Backup Web tool functions, such as file-system backup information.
