Dell EMC Solutions Enabler 9.2 SRDF Family CLI User Guide

Use the export command to translate the devices of an existing RDBMS database or tablespace to a new or existing composite group.

Connecting by network

When connecting by the network, add a database-specific variable to the RDB_CONNECT definition.

When connecting through the network in an Oracle environment, Oracle has a network listener process running.

An Oracle connection string such as the Transparent Network Substrate (TNS) is required.

Examples

In the following example, a local connect is used. The export command sets the variable to a username of "array" and a password of "manager".

export SYMCLI_RDB_CONNECT=array/manager

In the following example, the export command adds the TNS alias name "api217":

export SYMCLI_RDB_CONNECT=array/manager@api217

When connecting through the network in an SQL Server 2000 environment, add a string to indicate the ODBC data source administrator.

To add string "HR":

set SYMCLI_RDB_CONNECT=array/manager@HR

Optionally, set the SYMCLI_RDB_TYPE environmental variable to a specific type of database (oracle, informix, sqlserver, or ibmudb) so that you do not have to include the -type option on the symrdb rdb2cg command line.

To set the environmental variable to oracle :

export SYMCLI_RDB_TYPE=oracle
