Manually add an Oracle instance
Newly discovered Oracle instances on clients are automatically added to the NetBackup database. However, you may not want to wait for the discovery service to discover a new instance. In this case you can add an instance manually.
Note:
If necessary, contact the Oracle database administrator for the correct set of credentials. The DBA can also manually add the instance if they do not want to share the credentials with the backup administrator. The DBA can manually add the instance using the nboraadm command on the client. The Oracle database user is required to have a certain level of credentials. The Oracle database user must have SYSBACKUP
or SYSDBA
privileges (based on version of Oracle).
To manually add an instance
- On the left, click Workloads > Oracle.
- In the Instances tab, from the Actions list select Add instance.
- Enter the required information for the instance.
- (Optional) Enter the Override default TNS_ADMIN path if you need to override the default network administration directory on the client system. Enter the fully qualified path for the network administration directory on this host.
- After all the required information for instance is entered, you can:
Click Finish to add the instance. Select this option to add the instance to NetBackup without credentials. The credentials can be added at a later time.
Click Add and manage credentials to add credentials for the instance at this time.
Choose from the following options:
Select Add to group and register using group credentials to register the instance using group credentials. Select the instance group name from the drop-down.
Select Use instance credentials to register using the instance credentials. Select the credential option for this instance and enter all required information.
