Specifying the library path settings

When RMAN loads libobk_avamar.so or libobk_avamar64.so, the path to the RMAN-dependent libraries must be communicated to the dynamic loader. The dynamic loader exits with a failure when it is unable to locate the libraries that libobk_avamar.so or libobk_avamar64.so requires. RMAN channel allocation fails.

About this task

Use an environment variable to specify the location of the libraries. Set the correct environment variable before an Avamar backup or restore operation runs an RMAN script. The location and the environment variable vary with each operating system. The following table lists the operating systems and the environment variables.
Table 1. Environment variables for libobkThe following table displays the environment variables for libobk.
Operating system Environment variable
AIX LIBPATH
HP-UX SHLIB_PATH
Linux, Solaris LD_LIBRARY_PATH

The library path is typically install-dir/lib, where install-dir is the base installation directory for the system. For example:

  • On Linux, the path is /usr/local/avamar.
  • On Solaris, the path is /opt/AVMRclnt.
  • On Windows, the path is C:\Progra~1\avs\bin.

Steps

  1. Use the set and export commands (for the sh, ksh, or bash shell) or the setenv command (for the csh or bash shell) to set the library path variable.
  2. Set the appropriate environment variable on the system. For example, to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable on Solaris, use one of the following methods depending on the operating system shell:

    • For the sh, ksh, or bash shell, type the following command:

      set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/AVMRclnt/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    • For the csh or bash shell, type the following command:

      setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/AVMRclnt/lib
