During the activation process, the necessary files are copied from the
installation directory to an instance-specific directory. The installer does not activate the
instance. In order to activate an instance, follow the procedure.
Procedure
-
Log in to the production server and use the root user ID. Change to the global installation
directory.
-
Run the following command:
- To activate an instance in a non-RAC Oracle environment
./setup_ora.sh -a install
-d <instance_owner_$HOME>
- To activate an instance in a RAC environment with a shared filesystem
./setup_ora.sh -a install -d <instance_owner_$HOME> -t <directory_in_shared_file_
system>
The -t parameter for Oracle RAC specifies a target
directory within a shared file system so that the IBM® Storage Protect
Snapshot binary files are copied to the shared
file system. A link is created from the instance directory to the corresponding directory in the
shared file system. These files are then available on all nodes of the Oracle RAC
cluster.
The command creates the instance-specific path for IBM Storage Protect
Snapshot executable files at
<instance_owner_$HOME>/acs. This directory is referred to as instance
directory.
What to do next
After activating the instance, you must configure the instance to
complete the setup.
Configure IBM Storage Protect
Snapshot to backup or clone
Oracle databases by running the configuration wizard. From within the instance directory
<instance_owner_$HOME>/acs as the instance user, call the wizard by running
the ./setup_ora.sh command.
