Add the Oracle User as a CA ARCserve Backup User Equivalency

To back up, you must add the Oracle user who owns the Oracle database files as a CA ARCserve Backup user equivalency.

To add the user, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure CA ARCserve Backup is loaded and running.
  2. Go to the CA ARCserve Backup home folder and enter the following command: 
    ca_auth [-cahost CAAB_hostname] -equiv add <Oracle_username> <Linux_hostname> CAAB_username [CAAB_username] [CAAB_userpassword]

    CAAB_username must be a CA ARCserve Backup administrator.

Note: If you have installed the agent in a Real Application Cluster (RAC) environment, you must also add the Oracle user who owns the Oracle database files as a CA ARCserve Backup user equivalency on each node that is a part of the RAC cluster.
