Installation of Oracle Secure Backup 10.3.0.3 on RedHat EL6.2 x8664
Hi , My comany has got a new server to run RHEL6.2 x8664,
and Oracle Secure Backup 10.3.0.3 should be hosted in that machine.
when i begin installation , the installer quickly exit with errors:
Welcome to Oracle's setup program for Oracle Secure Backup. This
program loads Oracle Secure Backup software from the CD-ROM to a
filesystem directory of your choosing.
This CD-ROM contains Oracle Secure Backup version 10.3.0.3.0_LINUX64.
Please wait a moment while I learn about this host...mach_arch: Undefined variable.
ERROR: can't determine sufficient info about this machine to continue.
WHAT'S THE MATTER OF IT?
OSB 10.3 is not supported on Oracle Linux 6. The steps you've listed in that post render your installation unsupported.
You should install OSB 10.4.0.3.0 which is fully supported.
Thanks

Oracle Secure Backup Installation
Hi all,
It is the first time I am installing and configuring an Oracle Secure Backup. I have installed Oracle Secure Backup 10.4.0.3 at the Administrative sever (windows 7x64) just to test it before I install it to the production server (windows server 2003). The problem is the following:
After the installation I try to login to the webtool with the Admin user as described in the documentation. I enter the Admin password I set in the installation but it throws a login incorrect error. I know the password is the correct one as I have also tried to paste it from a notepad.
What should I check?
Thank you in advance.The username is admin with a lowercase a, see if that helps. Otherwise you should check the log files for the webserver to see where the problem might be.
Are you putting your admin server on a Windows machine for a specific reason? It's fully supported but that won't give you the best performance, I'd suggest you run a Linux admin/meda server.
Thanks

Hello,
We are planning to install and configure Oracle Secure Backup Version 10.4 in Linux server. I had searched documents and i have not find any relevant steps to install and configure in OEL 6.2.
Can anyone please suggest me how to install and configure OSB.
Regards,
AnilHi
Installing OSB on Oracle Linux is just the same as installing on any other supported linux and is described in Installation and Configuration guide. Just stick with the directories and procedure described in install guide and you should be fine.
For media server choose a physical host due to performance considerations. I think it is mentioned in docs somewhere.

Oracle Secure Backup on Windows: file permission problem?
Hi all.
I did a new Oracle Secure Backup installation.
I implemented a real simple domain:
a Linux box is the media/administrative server. Then I have some Windows and Linux Client.
On a Windows 2000 server SP4 box I'm experiencing an error.
On certain directories i get the following:
The directory is not a subdirectory of the root directory.
On certain files I get the following instead:
The directory name is invalid.
The OSB service is running under the local system account on the client.
Can you help me trouble this error?
Thanks
GiovanniThanks for your reply.
Disks are mounted using CIFS.
we got the fix for this, need to do the following changes.
# Turns off locking
echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/OplockEnabled
# Turns off inode caching
echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnabled
cheers...

Configuring Internal DELL RD1000 for Oracle Secure Backup
Hi all,
I have a Dell R710 server running Solaris 10 9/10 which has an internal Dell RD1000 drive. I intend to use this as a target for Oracle Secure Backup but am so far unable to configure the solaris sgen driver to see it as a valid tape/scsi drive.
iostat -En reveals the ff
c2t0d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0
Vendor: DELL Product: RD1000 Revision: 0053 Serial No:
Size: 160.04GB <160037691392 bytes>
Also after reboot
-bash-3.00# dmesg | grep -i RD1000
Feb 21 22:02:10 genunix: [ID 846691 kern.info] model DELL RD1000
however after following the installation guide i am still unable to see any /dev/scsi/changer or /dev/scsi/sequential directories.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
ThanksI don't know about this tape not appearing to the OS, some other OS related documentation would help you there. This may be due to the fact that this is a removable disk storage device, rather than actual tape.
However I have checked the OSB tape support matrix and this device is not listed, so this is not supported for use with OSB.
Thanks

RMAN Backup to tape using Oracle Secure Backup
I am trying to take 11g R2 (11.2.0.3) database backup using RMAN. I am using Oracle Secure Backup for configuring virtual tape library and virtual tape drive.
Whenever, I am running the RMAN backup script it simply hangs. While checking the backup job status from Oracle Secure Backup web interface, the job status are displaying 'pending resource availability'.
On, furthur investigating the job, the following error message are displayed,
" Dispatching job to run on oradb. Drive or volume on which mount attempted is unusable".
Library and Tape Creation:
mkdev -t library -o -S 4 -a oradb:/vlib -v vlib
mkdev -t tape -o -a ora11:/vt -v -l vlib -d 1 vt
Not able to fix this error. Need help
Message was edited by: 799814There is a VTL: http://mhvtl-linux-virtual-tape-library-community-forums.966029.n3.nabble.com/
really work well with OSB 10.3.0.3 64bit, the version of it, fully tested by me , is 1.2
The installation guide of it here:
mh virtual tape & library system.
Instructions assume reader is familiar with the kernel build process.
There are two sections of code to build.
- The kernel module
- The user-space daemons.
Kernel module mhvtl:
==================
1) Make sure the kernel-devel package to match your running kernel is installed.
e.g.
RedHat AS 4 & 5:
# rpm -qa|grep kernel
kernel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL
kernel-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL
kernel-2.6.9-5.EL
kernel-devel-2.6.9-5.EL
kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.80
SLES 9 & 10:
# rpm -qa|grep kernel
2) Extract the mhvtl source code.
# tar xvfz mhvtl-2012-04-04.tgz
3) Change directory into the kernel driver source.
# cd mhvtl-1.2/kernel/
# make
# make install
User space daemons:
===================
Pre-req for a running mhvtl
- sg3_utils (http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg3_utils.html)
Pre-req to build/compile userspace:
- zlib-devel
* To build an RPM
===============
cp mhvtl-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz /usr/src/packages/SOURCE/
cd /usr/src/packages/SOURCE
rpmbuild -tb mhvtl-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz
<wait for rpm build to complete>
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/<cpu type>/mhvtl-1.2-z.<cpu type>.rpm
(The rpm install will create system group & accounts vtl)
- Note: For RedHat, replace 'packages' with 'redhat'
* To build from tar archive (Debian / Ubuntu):
============================================
apt-get install lsscsi
apt-get install sg3_utils
To limit damage that may occur by wayward daemons, I highly recommend creating
a group and user called 'vtl'
# /usr/sbin/groupadd --system vtl
# /usr/sbin/useradd --system -c "Vitrual Tape Library" -d /opt/vtl -g vtl -m vtl
Now build user space daemons:
From the parent directory where you extracted the source.
# cd mhvtl-1.2
Build the binaries
# make
Install the rc script into /etc/init.d/ and binaries to /usr/local/bin/
# make install
Start daemons:
/etc/init.d/mhvtl start
Test:
Note: Make sure the 'mtx' & 'lsscsi' utilities are installed
The virtual devices are attached to HBA #5 in this example.
e.g.
# lsscsi -g

Hi,
I am currently implementing Oracle Secure Backup. My environment is this:
OS: Windows Server 2003 (32Bit) for all servers
Database: Oracle Database 11.2.0.1.0
Tape Library: IBM-ULT 3580-TD4
I will have to configure 2 machines to work with OSB: server01 and server02.
Server01:
This serves as the client, admin, mediaserver
Server02:
This will serve as the client, admin
When I log in to Server01, in the device manager, I can see the Tape Drives (no warnings, no questions marks) so I think it's good.
When I log in to Server02, in the device manager, there are no Tape Drives seen. Is is ok or shall i configure the IBM Tape drives to be also accessible since this is just the client, admin host?
Also I have noticed that when I installed the OSB in Server02 (client,admin), when I am on the SCSI Devices, i dont see any tape device (since its not in the device manager). Because of this i cannot start OSB Services and cannot add this host to the mediaserver.
Also, I am having issues Configuring the Library and the devices. I have read the official documentation completely but i think its very general and it does not present the detailed step-by-step process in installing and configuring OSB.
When I issued: lsdev -lvg in the mediaserver , I can read an error: Warning: bus info unknown or drive not installed.
Help is very much appreciated. Thanks a lot guys!I have resolved the issue. Ill close this thread. :))

Error while starting Oracle Secure Backup Service on Windows
Hi,
I've installed an Oracle 10gR2 database, and an OSB on a Windows XP (SP2) machine, and when trying to start the service (Oracle Secure Backup Services) I got the following error :
"Unknown():Unable to load dynamic library'./php_osb.dll'-The operating system cannot run %1"
This error message pops up 2-3 times, and I cannot login to OSB web page.
My database works ok, but I cannot "test" OSB
Anyone else had the same problem? Any ideas ?
Thanks,
PanagiotisHi-- could you please describe your administrative domain?
I need to know the operating systems on each of the
clients and the OSB admin server. Also, does 'obtool' CLI
tool work? Do any of the machines act as an apache webserver
for another application? Is there any other backup service
running on any of the machines?
thanks,
Judy
I noticed that when re-installing the OSB without the
Administrative Server (only Media Server and Client)
I got no errors at all (but still cannot connect from
another Administratice Server to my machine) -
Oracle Secure Backup is not Appeared in EM

b. Set osb_enabled=true and save the file.
c. Stop the Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control console as follows:
emctl stop dbconsole
d. Restart the Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control console as follows:
emctl start dbconsole
But after this setting i am not able to see any thing in my EM.
Any one has idea baout it, what reason it may be.....
I can access my Oracle Secure Backup by
https://<host name>:1158/....
Any Body has any idea, please help

Oracle RAC and Oracle Secure Backup Express
I am building a new RAC environment - 7-Nodes on Linux.
We are very interested in reviewing Oracle Secure Backup, possible Oracle Secure Backup Express.
My understanding about Oracle Secur eBackup Express is it is licensed "free" as long as you are working with a single tape drive.
Does anyone know - does this apply to RAC as well?
ThanksPlease refer to the OSB licensing document for
specific differences between OSB-XE and OSB:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32520_01/doc/
license.101/b25528/toc.htm
In general, we recommend you backup each RAC node to
insure all local files are protected which would mean
the OSB-XE edition would not be recommended since
OSB-XE is backup of one server.Thank you - I will review this.
.. and your White Papers regarding performance were just what I was looking for. -
Oracle Secure Backup- Error during configuration on Linux server
Dear Gurus
We are trying to configure Oracle Secure backup with the Oracle StorageTek tape library, on the Oracle Linux server for testing purposes..
We are getting the following errors when we run the command to configure "discoverdev -ic -h orasecbak":
Checking each library to associate discovered drive(s) with DTE...
Assigning DTE 1 in library ora-sec-bk_lib_2 for drive ora-sec-bk_tape_1 with serial number: HUJ4411YD9
Error: dte2 didn't report serial number to ora-sec-bk_lib_2 library
Assigning DTE 1 in library ora-sec-bk_lib_1 for drive ora-sec-bk_tape_2 with serial number: HUJ4411YD9
Error: dte2 didn't report serial number to ora-sec-bk_lib_1 library
The tape library is connected to the server using two fiber connections..thats why the sg_map -i -x is giving output twice for the same serial number...
.we installed Oracle Secure Backup 12.1
Regards,
MisbahWhat about disk space on your database server, is that OK? How about free RAM on all the systems?
You can also check other kernel settings to see if you are running out of kernel message buffer space or shared memory.
Thanks

Edited by: Muhammad.Usman on Dec 22, 2009 8:51 PMThe configuration you have described is not supported. If you want to use a VTL you will need to purchase one from a supported VTL supplier.
OSB does not provide its own VTL.

Checkpoints in Oracle Secure backup....
hi!
My question is that does Oracle Secure backup has "checkpoint " option...???.
Basically when we are backing very large databases so any error could accoured so we should define "checkpoint" so in case of some network or any other error , we can restart that backup from last checkpoint.
Please .....reply .....The following policies exists under operations
obtool lsp operations .....
fullbackupcheckpointfrequency 8 GB [default]
incrbackupcheckpointfrequency 2 GB [default]
I'm not clear if this is just for Filesystem backups though, or if it works for RMAN too.
