Oracle Secure Backup 10.3.0.3.0 in Windows 2003 with IBM Tape Not Working

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,
Panagiotis

Hi-- 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)

How to install and configure oracle secure backup(osb-10.4.0.3.0_linux.x64) in linux

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,
Anil

Hi
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 is not Appeared in EM

Dear Sir,
i have tried to show Oracle Secure Back in my EM as described in its Admin Guide
a. Navigate to the ORACLE_HOME/hostname_SID/sysman/config directory
and open the emoms.properties file in a text editor.
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

There is a separate forum for Oracle Secure Backup, You will get better response if you post it there.

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?
Thanks

Please 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,
Misbah

What 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.

The 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.

Unable to see Oracle Secure Backup Selections in EM (10g-10.2.0.1)

I cannot see the Oracle Secure Backup choices on the maintenance tab page.
I see Backup/Recovery and Backup/Recovery Settings but no third column Oracle Secure Backup.
I logon to EM as SYS.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

If you go to the maintenance tab on your EM, are there a couple of links under "Oracle Secure Backup" heading. I don't have this showing on my page. If I look at any of the Oracle demo pages I see it.
Like I said it is a feature of 10gR2....which I have.

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.

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

Oracle Secure Backup with partitioned SL3000

A Client has a partitioned SL3000 tape library with two Access Expansion Modules, T10000D drives, LTO6 drives and dual robotics.
Three Partitions - one for SAMFS including one AEM - this partition works fine.
Two partitions created for OSB - one for LTO6 and media and the other for T10000D and media due to mixed media not supported in OSB.
OSB 12.1 has been implemented, device configuration has been completed and verified. Library inventory completes successfully, when a test backup is started no media mounts to the tape drives. MTX utility for Linux has been implemented for test purposes - successful mounts using MTX was performed - a library inventory was then done using OSB and completed successfully identifying the media mounted in the drive that was initiated by MTX, a successful unload was then done using OSB.
We are unable to mount media using OSB.
Here is a output of devdump from OSB:

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

You can work entirely in Xcode by using the command-line tool template in C. Xcode > File > New > Project > Command-Line Tool > Next > Language: C > Next > Create.
If you do want to work on the command line, you may as well just use the "clang" program instead. The "gcc" tool is just a compatibility tool for existing scripts that are expecting the actual "gcc" program. Apple hasn't used the real "gcc" for years. (Read up on the GPLv3 for more information.)
The gcc/clang arguments are the same. The "-c" flag instructs the compiler to only compile a single .c file into a .o object file. It won't create an executable. If you are only compiling a single source file, just omit the "-c" flag and the compiler will create an executable named "a.out" that you can run by typing "./a.out". You can specify "-o <executable name>" if you want to specify a name. Once you get more than a handful of source files, using the terminal starts to become a hassle. At that point, you definitely want to start using Xcode.
I'm not sure why you would try to compile "helloworlddot1.c" and then get an error message about "filename.c". Something else is wrong.
If you are working in the Terminal, it is easiest to use the "cd" command to move into the same directory as your source files. Then you don't have to keep typing the full path.
It is hard to say what the "best" community is. There are many to choose from.

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
Giovanni

Thanks 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...

Which tap management tool is the most popularly used third-party software with Oracle database?

We use ARCServe for tape backups. Seems to function fine.
