Add the Oracle User as a CA ARCserve Backup User Equivalency

To perform the backup job, 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> <UNIX_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 add the Oracle user who owns the Oracle database files as a CA ARCserve Backup user equivalency on each node where the agent is installed and that is a part of the RAC cluster.
