Add an Oracle instance

In NetBackup, you can manually add an instance or allow NetBackup to scan for any Oracle instances. The NetBackup Discovery Service (nbdisco) discovers Oracle database instances throughout the NetBackup environment. All of the instances that are manually added or NetBackup discovers are populated in the Instance tab table.

Note:

For more information about instance management, see Instance management for an Oracle Intelligent Policy in the NetBackup for Oracle Administrator's Guide.
