PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 Oracle RMAN User Guide

Enable the Oracle RMAN agent after hostname change

After the hostname of the Oracle RMAN agent host is changed, you must re-register the Oracle RMAN agent, create new lockbox files, and update the lockbox setting for the protection policy.

1. Re-register the Oracle RMAN agent with PowerProtect Data Manager by running the register.sh script from the agent service directory /opt/dpsapps/agentsvc.
2. Delete the existing ddboost.config* lockbox files in the $RMAN_AGENT_HOME/config directory.
3. Obtain the updated hostname of the client system by running the uname -n command.
4. Create the new lockbox files on the client by running the ddutil command:

   ddutil -H "hostnames <Oracle_hostname>"

   Replace <Oracle_hostname> with the hostname.
5. In the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, configure the lockbox:
   1. In the left navigation pane, select Protection > Protection Policies.
   2. On the Protection Policies page, select the applicable protection policy in the list and click Set Lockbox.
