Dell Avamar for Oracle 19.10 User Guide

Registering the Avamar client

After you run the rac_config script on each RAC node, you run the avregister command on one cluster node. The avregister command registers and activates the Avamar client with the Avamar server.

1. Log in to one of the Oracle RAC nodes as root.
   NOTE:Run avregister on one RAC node only.
2. Change the directory to /usr/local/avamar/ora_rac/bin by typing the following command:
   cd /usr/local/avamar/ora_rac/bin
3. Start the registration script by typing the following command:
   ./avregister
   The following output appears in the command shell:

   === Client Registration and Activation
   This script will register and activate the client with the Administrator server.
   Enter the Administrator server address (DNS text name or
   numeric IP address, DNS name preferred):

4. Type the DNS hostname or IP address of the Administrator server, and then press Enter.
   The following output appears in the command shell:

   Enter the Avamar server domain [clients]:

5. Press Enter to accept the default domain (clients).
   The following output appears in the command shell:

   avagent.d Info: Server stopped. [ OK ]
   avagent Info <5241>: Logging to /usr/local/avamar/ora_rac/var/avagent.log
   avagent.d Info: Client activated successfully. [ OK ]
   avagent Info <5241>: Logging to /usr/local/avamar/ora_rac/var/avagent.log
   avagent Info <5417>: daemonized as process id 3385
   avagent.d Info: Server started. [ OK ]
   Registration Complete.

6. If the var directory is not being shared, copy the files /usr/local/avamar/ora_rac/var/cid.bin and /usr/local/avamar/ora_rac/var/avagent.cfg from this node into the same directory on all the other nodes. You do not need to do this step if the var directory is being shared.
