Loading Oracle Secure Backup Software on Linux or UNIX Using setup Script
2-6 Oracle Secure Backup Installation and Configuration Guide
Loading Oracle Secure Backup Software on Linux or UNIX Using setup
Script
The setup script performs the loading process, in which packages of files required to
install Oracle Secure Backup are extracted from the installation media and staged in
the Oracle Secure Backup home for later use by the
installob
installation script.
To load Oracle Secure Backup into an Oracle Secure Backup home directory for
later installation on one or more Linux or UNIX platforms:
1.
Log into your Linux or UNIX operating system as
root
.
2.
Change to the Oracle Secure Backup home directory created in "Creating the
Oracle Secure Backup Home" on page 2-5. For example:
# cd /usr/local/oracle/backup
3.
Run the
setup
script from your installation media or extracted archive directory.
Enter the following command, where
/media_dir
is the CD-ROM mount point
or the directory containing the files extracted from the downloaded archive:
# / media_dir /setup
For example, if you downloaded an archive from Oracle Technology Network
(OTN) and extracted the setup software to the
/tmp/osbdownload/OB
directory,
then you would run
setup
as follows:
# /tmp/osbdownload/OB/setup
Oracle Secure Backup expands compressed files in a temporary directory during
installation. To specify a directory for this expansion, you can use the
-t
option
to the
setup
command. The following example specifies that
setup
should use
directory_name
for the expansion:
# / media_dir /setup -t directory_name
The
setup
script displays the following messages:
■
A welcome message stating the Oracle Secure Backup version number and
then displays progress messages
■
A message stating the platform
■
Various progress messages as it loads the package
When the script finishes, it prompts you to unmount and remove the installation
CD-ROM.
4.
The setup script prompts you to start the
installob
script to install Oracle
Secure Backup on the local host. Choose one of these options:
■
Enter
no
to run
installob
later, or if you must customize some aspect of
your installation process using the
obparameters
file, as described in
"Configuring Installation Parameters in the obparameters File" on page 2-7.
If you enter no, then
setup
tells you how to continue installation later, and
setup exits.
Note:
At this point the loading process is complete. The files
required to install Oracle Secure Backup are stored in the Oracle
Secure Backup home on this host.
