Dell Avamar for Oracle 19.10 User Guide

Specifying the SBT_LIBRARY parameter

To use RMAN backup and restore scripts with the Avamar software requires you to define backup channels by using the allocate channel command. The allocate channel command must include a PARMS clause, which specifies the SBT_LIBRARY parameter.

1. Set the SBT_LIBRARY parameter to point to the directory that contains the libobk_avamar.so file for 32-bit installations or the libobk_avamar64.so file for 64-bit installations:
   SBT_LIBRARY=install-dir/lib/libobk_avamar.so
   where install-dir is the base installation directory for the platform. For example, specify /usr/local/avamar on Linux, /opt/AVMRclnt on Solaris, C:\Progra~1\avs\bin on Windows.
   For 64-bit Oracle installations, use libobk_avamar64.so in place of libobk_avamar.so. On Windows, the equivalent libraries are libobk_avamar64.dll and libobk_avamar.dll.
2. Use the appropriate allocate channel command to define backup channels:
   • For IBM AIX, type the following command:

     allocate channel c1 type sbt
       PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/local/avamar/lib/libobk_avamar.so";

   • For 64-bit HP-UX, type the following command

     allocate channel c1 type sbt
       PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=/opt/AVMRclnt/lib/libobk_avamar64.so";
