Oracle Secure Backup Installation and Configuration Guide

Creating attach points on each media server
This step is required for the Oracle Secure Backup device driver to access tape
devices. You need the
SCSI
device parameters to perform this task.
Prerequisites for Installing Oracle Secure Backup on Linux and UNIX
The prerequisites for installing Oracle Secure Backup on Linux and UNIX operating
systems are:
■
Each host must have a network connection with a static IP address and run
TCP/IP
.
■
The
uncompress
utility must be installed on your system.
■
You must have the SCSI parameters for each
tape drive
and
tape library
attached
to your Linux or UNIX media server. You can find them using the procedures in
Appendix C, "Determining Linux SCSI Parameters"
. You need this information
when creating an attach point for each tape device.
■
On a Redhat Linux system, ensure that you install the
sg3_utils
and the
sg3_utils-libs
RPM packages. These packages are required for successfully
running the
sg_map
command.
■
You must be able to log in to each host with
root
privileges to perform the
installation.
Prerequisites for Installation on Linux
For each Linux media server, ensure that the SCSI Generic (SG) driver is installed. This
driver is required for Oracle Secure Backup to interact with a tape device.
Kernel modules are usually loaded directly by the facility that requires them, if the
correct settings are present in the
/etc/modprobe.conf
file. However, it is
sometimes necessary to explicitly force the loading of a module at start time.
For example, on RedHat Enterprise Linux, the module for the SCSI Generic driver is
named
sg
. Red Hat Enterprise Linux checks at start time for the existence of the
/etc/rc.modules
file, which contains various commands to load modules.
Note:
On a Solaris
media server
,
installob
also performs some
tape device
configuration tasks, including installation of a required
device driver, and, optionally,
attach point
creation required for
Oracle Secure Backup to access tape devices.
Note:
If you are installing Oracle Secure Backup in an Oracle Real
Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) environment, then you must install
Oracle Secure Backup on each node in the cluster.
Note:
If the uncompress utility is not installed on your system, then
you can create an
uncompress
symbolic link pointing to the gunzip
utility with the following command:
ln -s /bin/gunzip uncompress
