PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 Oracle RMAN Agent User Guide

Discover an Oracle application host

After you register an application host with PowerProtect Data Manager, you can use the Asset Sources window to discover an application host and modify the application host credentials. For application hosts, discovery is required if you want to schedule a backup. You must add credentials to the Oracle database so that PowerProtect Data Manager can access the database to create backups.

About this task

NOTE With release 19.9, a new Oracle database discovery method is supported, which uses the pmon process without a dependence on /etc/oratab entries. The /etc/oratab file entries have the highest precedence for the discovery of Oracle database resources on the system, which enables the PowerProtect Data Manager operations.

Perform the following steps to discover an Oracle application host as an asset source in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI.

Steps

  1. Select Infrastructure > Asset Sources.
    The Asset Sources window appears.
  2. Select the App/File System Host tab.
  3. If you are adding an Oracle database, select the host entry and click Edit Credentials.
    The Edit Credentials dialog appears.
  4. If you are adding credentials for an Oracle database, specify CredentialType as OS User and provide the Oracle username and password.

    Authentication requirements provides details about the authentication requirements for an Oracle database.

    NOTE Credentials that you set at the asset level and asset source level supersede the credentials that you set at the protection policy level. Credentials at the asset level have the highest precedence.
  5. Click Save.
    An entry for the application host with the specified information appears as an entry in a table on the Asset Sources window.
    Discovery time is based on networking bandwidth. The resources that are discovered and those that are doing the discovery take a performance hit each time that you go through a discovery process. It might appear that PowerProtect Data Manager is not updating the Asset Sources data.
    NOTE Click Discover at any time if any additions or other changes to your asset sources have taken place outside of the PowerProtect Data Manager environment.

Results

If the database is properly configured, the application hosts can now be added to a PowerProtect Data Manager protection policy.
