PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 Oracle RMAN Agent User Guide

PDF

Add and remove the credentials for Oracle assets

Starting with PowerProtect Data Manager 19.7, you can optionally add and remove the credentials for one or more Oracle database assets at the same time in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI. The asset-level credentials take precedence over asset source-level (host) credentials and policy-level credentials for Oracle databases. Asset-level credentials have the highest precedence.

About this task

NOTE

You can only add the asset-level credentials when the Oracle host agent version is 19.7 or later.

You can add Oracle assets with different Oracle OS users or groups from the same asset source into a single protection policy.

You can add multiple Oracle assets from multiple asset sources into a single protection policy.

The Oracle assets can be associated with multiple credential types, where the supported database credential types are Oracle, Database User, and Wallet and the supported RMAN catalog credential types are Database User and Wallet.

In the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, when you select Infrastructure > Assets and then click the Oracle tab, the Application Name column on the Assets page lists the Oracle application assets. Each asset name in that column is an Oracle database or instance name for a stand-alone system or a unique database name for a RAC system.

Use the following procedure to add or remove the credentials for the Oracle database assets.

Steps

  1. In the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Infrastructure > Assets, and then click the Oracle tab.
  2. Select one or more assets by clicking the checkbox next to each required asset name.
  3. Select More Actions > Set Credential.
  4. In the Set Credential dialog box, add or remove the credentials for the selected Oracle assets:

    • To add the credentials for the assets, specify the required OS, Database User, or Wallet settings for Database Credentials. When the asset is associated with an RMAN catalog, you can also specify the RMAN catalog credentials through the Database User or Wallet settings for RMAN Catalog.

      NOTE You can specify both the database credentials and RMAN catalog credentials in the Set Credential dialog box.
    • To remove the credentials for the assets, select Remove Credentials.
  5. Click Save in the Set Credential dialog box.

Results

When you save the newly added credentials in the dialog box, PowerProtect Data Manager triggers an auto-configuration job for the credential update in the respective clients.

After you add the credentials by using this procedure, the asset-level credentials are used for the selected assets during Oracle centralized backups, overriding the policy-level credentials.
