Running the rac_config script

To configure Oracle RAC on HP-UX, IBM AIX, Linux, or Solaris, run the rac_config script on each RAC node. Specify the same shared Avamar var directory for each node that you configure.

Steps

  1. Log in to one of the Oracle RAC nodes as root.
  2. Change the directory to /usr/local/avamar/bin by typing the following command:
    cd /usr/local/avamar/bin
  3. Start the script by typing the following command:
    ./rac_config
    The following output appears in the command shell:

    Enter the path of Oracle Clusterware Home : /u01/app/11.2.0/grid
    Using ORACLE_HOME : /u01/app/11.2.0/grid
    Setting PATH set for Oracle commands
    Oracle cluster version 11 R2
    Do you want to configure on a cluster shared filesystem? [y/n] [y]: y
    Enter the full path of var directory location[]:
    Enter y if var is a shared directory. Enter n if var is a non-shared directory: [y] y

  4. Type the directory path, and then press Enter.
    The following output appears in the command shell:

    Enter the virtual hostname [vlrac1]:

    where vlrac1 is the scan name for Oracle grid 11g R2.

  5. Press Enter to accept the default virtual hostname.
    The following output appears in the command shell:

    Using vlrac1 as hostname

  6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 on the other nodes.

Next steps

To ensure that backups using the RMAN CLI backups are viewable in the Avamar Administrator Activity window, copy the avoracle.cmd file from ../ora_rac/var/ to ../ora_rac/var/clientlogs/. The following options must be present in avoracle.cmd:

  • --rac_cluster
  • --hostname=cluster scan name
