Oracle Secure Backup Installation and Configuration Guide
Other System Requirements for Oracle Secure Backup
Each host that participates in a Oracle Secure Backup
administrative domain
must run
TCP/IP
. Oracle Secure Backup uses this protocol for all communication within each of
its components and between its components and other system components.
Each appliance that employs a closed operating system, such as
Network Attached
Storage (NAS)
and tape servers, must support a version of
Network Data
Management Protocol (NDMP)
described in
"Oracle Secure Backup Host Access
Modes"
on page 1-3.
Each host that participates in an Oracle Secure Backup administrative domain must
also have some preconfigured way to resolve a host name to an IP address. Most
systems use DNS, NIS, WINS, or a local hosts file to do this. Oracle Secure Backup
does not require a specific mechanism. Oracle Secure Backup only requires that, upon
presenting the underlying system software with an IP address you have configured, it
obtains an IP address corresponding to that name.
The use of DHCP to assign IP addresses is not supported for hosts that participate in
an Oracle Secure Backup administrative domain. Static IP addresses should be
assigned to all hosts. If you cannot use static IP addresses, then you must ensure that
the DHCP server guarantees that a given host is always assigned the same IP address.
On Oracle Secure Backup network installations, it is important that there be no
duplicate host names. Index catalog data is stored in a directory based on the name of
the
client
host. Duplicate host names would result in information related to backups
from multiple clients being combined in a manner that could prevent successful
restore operations from backup files.
You can configure Oracle Secure Backup to use WINS, the Microsoft Windows name
resolution protocol, from UNIX hosts. Although this configuration is atypical, WINS
name resolution from UNIX hosts can be a practical solution.
Linux Media Server System Requirement: SCSI Generic Driver
Configuring a Linux host for the Oracle Secure Backup
media server
role requires that
the SCSI Generic driver be installed on that host. This driver is required for Oracle
Secure Backup to interact with a
tape device
. The host must also be configured to
automatically reload the driver after a restart.
Acquiring Oracle Secure Backup Installation Media
Oracle Secure Backup installation media for each supported platform is available as a
CD-ROM or as a ZIP file downloaded from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN)

Oracle Secure Backup Administrator's Guide
for guidelines
on the growth of the Oracle Secure Backup catalog over time
Note:
You can change the static IP of a host from one address to
another, but you must restart the Oracle Secure Backup
administrative server
for the change to take effect.
