Add an Oracle Server
To register an Oracle server:
- From the navigation menu, expand Manage Protection, then expand Applications. Expand Oracle, then click Backup.
- Click Manage Application Servers.
- Click Add Application Server. The Applications Properties pane opens.
- Populate the fields in the Applications Properties pane:
- Host Address
- Enter the resolvable IP address or a resolvable path and machine name.
- Use existing user
- Enable to select a previously entered username and password for the provider.
- Username
- Enter your username for the provider.
- Password
- Enter your password for the provider.
- Expand Options
to configure additional options:
- Maximum concurrent databases
- Click Save. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus confirms a network connection, adds the provider to the database, then catalogs the provider.
Set the maximum number of databases to back up concurrently on the server. Server performance is impacted when backing up a large number of databases concurrently, as each database utilizes multiple threads and consumes input/output bandwidth when copying data. Use this option to control the impact on server resources and minimize the impact on production operations.
To troubleshoot an application server after registration, use the Actions > Test function. The Test function verifies communication with the server, tests DNS settings between the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus appliance and the server, and installs the necessary agent on the server.
Providers are automatically cataloged after registration. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus creates a high-level Inventory job and catalogs the objects on the provider. To manually run an Inventory job, click Run Inventory from the Backup pane.
NEXT STEPS:
- Assign user permissions to the server. See Access.
