The Data Protection for Oracle node name and password when required must be registered to the Tivoli® Storage Manager server before you can begin requesting backup and restore services. The process of setting up a node name and password with the Tivoli Storage Manager server is called registration.
About this task
The following information is needed to register Data Protection for Oracle with the Tivoli Storage Manager server:
- Data Protection for Oracle node
name:
The node name identifies the instance on which Data Protection for Oracle is installed. Use a separate and unique node name for Data Protection for Oracle. This prevents any confusion with an existing Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client on the same workstation.
- Initial password:
Specify the password that you want to use, if a password is required.
The following information is defined by the Tivoli Storage Manager administrator:
- The policy domain to which your client node belongs.
A policy domain contains policy sets and management classes that control how Tivoli Storage Manager manages the objects you back up. Rather than binding Data Protection for Oracle backups to a different management class, define a unique policy domain for Data Protection for Oracle node names. These backups can be bound to the default management class within this unique policy domain. Rather than binding a different management class for Oracle backups, specify a different domain for the backups with a separate management class.
- The authority to enable compression.
The Tivoli Storage
Manager administrator
can specify the server to compress files. If the Tivoli Storage
Manager administrator
specifies that the compression decision belongs to the client compression client,
you must specify compression yes in
the client system options file dsm.sys. This
enables the Data Protection for Oracle node
to compress objects before it sends them to the Tivoli Storage
Manager server.
The Tivoli Storage
Manager administrator
can specify the server to compress files. If the Tivoli Storage
Manager administrator
specifies that the compression decision belongs to the client compressionclient,
you must specify compressionyes in
the client user options file dsm.opt so that
the Data Protection for Oracle node
is able to compress objects before it sends them to the Tivoli Storage
Manager server. - The authority to delete backup data from Tivoli Storage
Manager storage. The Data Protection for Oracle node can only delete backed up data from Tivoli Storage Manager storage if the Tivoli Storage Manager administrator registers the node with backdelete authority. Specify the following option to allow backdelete authority:
- backdelete yes
