Explain how to set up Oracle Operating System authentication
with PowerProtect Data Manager.
This video presents the following:
Steps to set up Operating System authentication.
Log into Oracle Host.
Verify that Database supports Operating System authentication.
Setting optional parameter in RMAN configuration file.
Restart the agent on the Oracle Host.
Create a Credential in PowerProtect Data Manager
for the Operating System user.
Create a Protection Policy.
Set Credentials, and run a test backup.
Before you begin,
the Operating System authentication method
can only be used on systems with a single Oracle home
or with multiple Oracle homes that were all installed by the same user.
Log in to the Oracle host and switch to Oracle user.
Verify that your Database supports Operating System authentication
by connecting to SQL*Plus and connect as "sysbackup".
As an optional step, you can set Oracle OS
user parameter for each required SID
in the RMAN agent configuration file.
"cd" to the RMAN agent home directory.
Then, change to the config directory.
Set the required parameter in the RMAN agent configuration file.
Here we have set Oracle OS user as "oracle".
After that, restart the agent on the Oracle host as "root".
Create an Operating System user credential in PowerProtect Data Manager.
Expand "Administration" and select "Credentials".
In the "Add Credentials" window,
expand the "Type" pull-down menu and select "OS" for Operating System.
Add "User Name" and "Password", then save.
After that, create a Protection Policy
by selecting OS Oracle and expanding "Protection".
Select "Protection Policies" and click on "Add".
On "Purpose" page, select purpose of the policy and "Set Credentials".
Choose the previously created user.
Once the user has been selected, click "Save".
Choose the asset that you wish to protect.
Then, add Primary Backup schedule.
Select the appropriate action under "Archive Logs"
and then click "Next".
Check the "Summary" page and click on "Finish".
Click "Details" to monitor the progress.
The Protection Policy is created successfully.
