Installation and Configuration

This configuration helps fulfill the requirements for the NSR-ORA administrator 
to define a backup schedule within NetWorker. The steps necessary for this are 
explained in the following section.

To simplify the NetWorker configuration process, the tool configure_networker is 
provided for the first-time configuration. It is located in the directory 
$NSR_INST/oracle/config

. Note that this tool requires the file 

. The settings made by configure_networker correspond 

to those in section 

 (tablespace backup at 

weekly intervals). If you want to split up the backup of the tablespaces the 
default is to create one client for each day of the week and an additional client 
for the full backup. However, the client for the full backup is then not active by 
default.

If you simply wish to carry out full backups then only the client for full backups 
is created (${ORACLE_SID}_full_save). Alternatively, a client for offline backups 
can also be added here (${ORACLE_SID}_offline).

The tool is called with

# configure_networker <create|delete> <ORACLE_SID>

You can erase a first-time configuration with the delete option (changes made 
after the first-time configuration with configure_networker are not erased). 

While the tool is working you are prompted to enter the following information:

●

the name of the NetWorker client on which NSR-ORA and the ORACLE 
database are installed

●

the name of the NetWorker server by means of which the database is to be 
backed up

●

the way in which the NetWorker server is to be configured. It depends on this 
which resources have to be defined on the NetWorker server:

–

for backup only (backup; normal use)

–

for mirroring only (mirror; configuration of the second NetWorker server 
for a dual backup of the redolog files)

–

for both (both; normal use and mirroring)

Please check the settings that configure_networker made and compare them with 
the entries described in section 

.
