NSR-ORA and NetApp

The configure_nsrora script does not ask you to set up this parameter, so you 
may have to set it up manually by changing the dbo${ORACLE_SID}.init 
configuration file. With this parameter you choose the protocol NSR-ORA 
uses to communicate with the database. Currently NetWorker supports the 
two following protocols:

The RSH communication protocol is highly recommended. The adminis-
trator must simply enregister the database computer in the files /etc/hosts 
and /etc/hosts.equiv on the NAS Filer.

Using Telnet imposes considerable restrictions: Only one user may 
communicate with the NAS Filer at a time. There are two other 
parameters (User and Password) to be set up using the TELNET value for 
NDMP_LOGIN_METHOD

. Both values are set up automatically by NSR-

ORA using the values of the respective NetWorker client’s resources.

The configure_networker command creates a number of NetWorker resources by 
providing a menu with three possible scenarios. Selecting one of these 
scenarios creates the following NetWorker resources accordingly:

●

the two or three groups, needed for the scenario

●

the NSR-ORA clients for database backups (additonally, one required 
NDMP client must be created afterwards manually)

●

the required schedules

●

the required pools

●

the required label templates

You may modify these resources later to adapt them to your local installation 
(see also section 

).

   The following required resource is not created automatically and you 

must therefore be created manually before starting the first backup:

●

the NDMP client necessary to define the communication between 
NetWorker and the NetApp filer (see
