to the corresponding Application Recovery Manager user group (admin or
operator) and must also become the owner of the backup specification to be able
to back up the Oracle database using Application Recovery Manager.
IMPORTANT:
Additionally, the user root on the Oracle Server has to be added to the Application
Recovery Manager admin or operator user group for both, the application and
backup system.
The user account for the added Oracle user must have the same numerical user ID
and group ID on the backup system and on the application system (for example,
UNIX user ora and UNIX group dba). The Oracle user must be identical on both
systems.
For information on how to add a user to a user group, see the online Help index:
“adding users”.
After the two users are added to the Application Recovery Manager admin or
operator user group, Application Recovery Manager sessions can be started under
the user account with all the necessary privileges required to perform an Oracle
database backup with Application Recovery Manager.
MC/ServiceGuard: In a cluster environment, add both users (the Oracle user and the
user root) to the Application Recovery Manager admin or operator group on
the virtual server and on every physical and virtual node in the cluster.
If two or more Oracle users have the same user ID, all of them must be added to the
Application Recovery Manager admin or operator user group.
Configuring Oracle databases
Configuring an Oracle database involves preparing the environment for starting a
backup. The environment parameters such as the Oracle home directory and the
connection string to the database are saved in the Application Recovery Manager
Oracle configuration files on the Cell Manager. The database must be open during
the configuration procedure. The configuration must be done for each Oracle
database.
To configure an Oracle database, use the Application Recovery Manager GUI or
CLI.
