Close WinSCP after the transfer is done. Log in as root to the Oracle Production Computer using PuTTY. Change to the directory where to two packages were uploaded.
Install first the Avamar Client plugin, using Linux "rpm" command. Then install the RMAN plug in using "rpm" command as well. Change to the Avamar installed binary directory. Run AV register.
Enter Avamar server name or IP and press enter. Enter Avamar domain name for this client and press enter. Switch to Avamar and click on "Avamar Web UI".
Expand the menu by clicking on the two greater-than signs. Click on "Asset Management". Click on the Avamar domain used when AV register was run.
Select the Oracle Production box and do a test backup. Click on "Backup" to initiate the test. Expand "Linux Oracle RMAN". Select the database that will be used in the test and click "Next".
