RMAN Prerequisites

Before you can back up with RMAN and the agent, you must:

• Use the Computer Associates libobk library files by performing one of these actions:
  • Relink Oracle
  • Create the $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.* symbolic link
  • Use SBT_LIBRARY in the RMAN script (depending on the platform and Oracle version)
• Add the Oracle user who owns the Oracle database files as a CA ARCserve Backup user equivalency.

Note: For information about performing these tasks, see Post-Installation Tasks Required for Recovery Manager.
