For the Oracle, Oracle RAC or SAP for Oracle iDataAgent,
if you have custom SQL settings, you must turn off these settings to
ensure that the instance browse works correctly and that the instance status is
correctly fetched. To do this, create and edit the
cvlogin.sql file with the appropriate contents at
ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin. For example, run the
following command:
edit file $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/cvlogin.sql
Then include the following contents in the
cvlogin.sql file:
To create an instance, from the CommCell Browser, locate the correct client computer node, and right-click the agent node for which you want
the new instance created, click All Tasks, and then click New Instancefrom the
shortcut menu.
To modify an existing instance, from the CommCell Browser, right-click the instance you want to modify, and then click
Properties from the shortcut menu.
From the General
tab, enter the name (up to 32
characters) for the instance. In addition, provide the required access information for
this instance.
For various iDataAgents,
you can add/modify an application/database user account. See the appropriate section as follows in
User Accounts and Passwords for more information:
If your agent uses the Details
tab,
enter the required database connect string and other optional parameters.
For the Oracle, Oracle RAC and SAP for Oracle iDataAgents, see
the
Oracle iDataAgents section in
User Accounts and Passwords for more information.
From the
Storage Device
tab, select storage policy copies to be used for, as applicable, data
backups, command line data backups and log backups. Within these tabs
you can click Data
Paths to display the details of the data paths associated with the
primary storage policy copy of the selected storage policy.
If your agent uses the
Software
Compression tab, and you want to enable software compression for the
selected
backups, click the tab and select the option appropriate to your environment.
If you want to enable data encryption, from the
Encryption
tab
select encryption settings for third-party or RMAN command line backups.
Click OK to save the instance.
A message advises you to schedule backups for your new instance. It is
recommended you elect to set a schedule now. You can also associate this
instance with an All Agent Types schedule policy (which is automatically
created by the system, or can be a user defined Data Protection schedule
policy). If you have already associated a schedule policy at a previous
level (Agent, Client, or Client Computer Group) the schedules defined in the
Schedule Policy will be automatically applied to the new instance. See
Schedule Policy for
more information.
For agents that offer an OK
option, click OK to acknowledge the message. This procedure is now
complete.
For agents that offer Yes and No options to this
message, click No if you don't want to create a backup schedule at
this time, and this procedure is complete. If you click Yes, a dialog box
prompts you to back up
all subclients of this instance.
Click Yes.
The Backup Options dialog box appears, which allows you to create the
necessary schedules.
From the Backup Options
dialog box, select the type of backup that you want to schedule.
If you want to access Advanced Backup Options,
click Advanced.
After selecting the backup type and any advanced options, click OK.
The Schedule Details dialog box appears.
From the Schedule
Details tab of the Schedule Details dialog box, select the scheduling options
that you want to apply, then click OK.
NOTES
A default subclient is created for the Oracle instance, which includes all the objects in the instance.
When you are done with this procedure, open the Subclient
Properties dialog box for the default subclient and verify that
the Resync Catalog option available in the
Backup Arguments tab is selected. This
would help you to successfully perform a full system restore in the
event of destroyed or damaged client.
After creating the instance for DB2, you can now create one or more
Backup Sets for this
instance.
Administrative Management capability cannot be used to release the
license from the MediaAgent level.
Before you Begin:
To release license for MediaAgent, ensure that all the storage policies or copies
associated with the configured libraries (or drive pools) in the MediaAgent are
deleted or re-associated to another MediaAgent.
To
release license for
client, MediaAgent, agent, or enabler:
In the CommCell Browser, right-click the name of the client, MediaAgent,
agent, or enabler you want to release license, click All Tasks (if
displayed), and select Release License.
A popup warning message appears.
Click OK to continue.
Another popup message then appears.
Click Yes to continue with the deconfiguration or No to abort.
If releasing a license is unsuccessful, a number of popup messages
appears. In some cases, the message requests that you take some
corrective action. For example, the message might advise you to ensure that there are no jobs running on the
agent. In such a case, click OK and take the appropriate action.
Then repeat the process.
If releasing a license is successful, the tree element is dimmed and available for deletion.
You can perform agent operations as long as the agent is installed and
appears enabled in the CommCell Browser. However, if you have no need to
run jobs on the agent data of a client computer, you may want
to delete the agent that resides on that computer. Once you have uninstalled or DeConfigured
the agent, the corresponding icon in the CommCell Browser is grayed out. While
this icon exists, you can recover data from the agent to another client. If you
delete this icon, all of the agent's data is irretrievably lost.
NOTES
You cannot delete an agent while operations for that agent are
running.
You need to uninstall or DeConfigure the agent software
from the client computer. Doing so frees an agent license, thereby allowing
you to install it on some other computer whose data you do want to secure.
After you delete the client software, you can either leave the corresponding
data
intact for appropriate action, or you can remove the data immediately. If you choose
to remove the data immediately, you must delete the agent from the CommCell
Browser.
From the CommCell Browser, right-click the icon of the agent that you want to delete, and then click Delete.
(The agent software must first have been uninstalled/DeConfigured or the delete option on the shortcut menu
will not appear.)
A warning message prompts you with the following:
This operation will permanently delete the data backed up from this level
and it cannot be restored. Click Ok to continue with the
deletion operation. (Clicking No will abort the operation.)
From the Confirmation Text dialog box, enter the confirmation
text string, erase and reuse media. Click
Ok. The agent icon and the data that corresponds to the selected agent
will be deleted. Consequently, you will not be able to browse or recover
this data.
From the CommCell Browser, click the CommServe, Client,
Agent, MediaAgent, or Enabler for which you wish to view the version, and then click
Properties.
