Installing DA-Oracle

The installation procedure copies the DA-Oracle files to a target directory you specify, then adds the module to the COSmanager application table. See Installing COSmanager Applications in the COSmanager User Guide for full details of how to install COSmanager add-on modules.

Which hosts should DA-Oracle be installed on

The DA-Oracle software must be installed on the COSbackup master host, and every host that has Oracle 7.x/8i/9i databases that you wish to back up. Note DA-Oracle does not support the Oracle Parallel Server option.

To Install DA-Oracle

If you will be installing from a file, copy the cpio archive to a directory on the local host.

  • Type Where are you installing the COSmanager files from?
    • tape a COSmanager distribution tape
    • directory a directory structure
    • file a cpio archive containing the distribution
  • Host name If you are installing from tape, choose the name of the host to which the tape drive is attached. If you are installing from a cpio archive, choose the name of the local host.
  • Install from If you are installing from tape, enter the no-rewind device name for the tape drive. If you are installing from a cpio archive, enter the full path to the file name.
  • COSmanager displays a list of all the applications and modules in the distribution.
  • Choose the row titled ‘DA-Oracle version 2.2’.
  • adds an entry for DA-Oracle 2.2 to the COSmanager applications table
  • copies the DA-Oracle files from the tape to the target directory

This completes the installation phase. The next step is to configure the Oracle

Configuring DA-Oracle

Until you specify these, DA-Oracle will not be able to back up Oracle databases on this host.

If you choose to continue, DA-Oracle displays the ‘Oracle configuration’ prompt form.

If you choose to exit now from the installation procedure, you will have to run this configuration task later: from the COSbackup configuration menu select Initial configuration. Select the tasks ‘Configure Oracle backup’, then select Perform > Selected.

Fill in the following fields:

DA-Oracle options will be added to COSbackup the next time you restart COSbackup.
