Dell Avamar for Oracle 19.10 User Guide

Configuring highly available single-instance databases on Linux or UNIX

Before you can back up high availability Oracle single-instance database configurations, you must run the si_config script and register a corresponding virtual client with the Avamar server.

1. Log in as root to any of the Oracle cluster nodes where the single-instance database has been configured.
2. Change to the /usr/local/avamar/bin:

   cd /usr/local/avamar/bin

3. Run the si_config command:

   ./si_config -d database_name -r resource -p 28004 -h /u01/app/11.2.0/grid -v shared_directory -n "node_names"
   

   where:

   • database_name is the name of the single-instance database.
   • resource is the resource which controls the failover of the single-instance database (for example, ora.dbsi1.db).
   • shared_directory is a shared directory (for example, /cluster_share/).
   • node_names is a space-separated list of the names of the nodes on which the single-instance database is configured.

   Example command line:

   ./si_config -d DBSI1 -r ora.dbsi1.db -p 28004 -h /u01/app/11.2.0/grid -v /cluster_share/dbsi1 -n "bu-lin-earth bu-lin-mars"

   NOTE:Run the si_config command on one node only.
   The script will prompt you for the client name.
4. Enter the client name or press Enter to accept the default selection:

   Enter the client name for database_name [Client_name]

5. If ssh autologin is not set up for the root user, you will be prompted to enter the root password for each remote node:

   root@node_name's password:

   Enter the root password for each node when prompted.
   This will allow configuration on all other nodes.
