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:
ob> dumpdev prd-mgmt2_tape_4

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.
Thanks

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.

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. :))

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 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 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
Rich

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

Tape Drive and Library Compatibility Matrix - Oracle Secure Backup Express

Does Oracle Secure Backup Express support IBM System Storage TS3200 Tape Library with two Tape Drives?
Regards
Rado

That library is listed on the support matrix which applies to both OSB-XE and OSB:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/secure-backup/pdf/Tape_Devices10.2.pdf
Keep in mind that OSB-XE licensing restricts usage to one server direct attached to one tape drive. Per your post, your library has 2 tape drives which cannot be used with OSB-XE but certainly could with OSB.

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.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I 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

Secure Backup with PowerVault 124T?

Does anyone know if Oracle Secure Backup is supported with / or will work with Dell PowerVault 124T LTO-3 Autoloader? I looked on the compatibility matrix, but it's not on there. Although there are other Dell products that are similar (like 126T, 130T . . . ) I didn't see the 124T.
I suppose it would work, but just seeing if anyone has this set up with the PV124T and if it's working well.

Licensing for Oracle Secure Backup Cloud Module

My company is looking at moving from our internal tape backup to Oracle (Cloud) Database Backup. We have questions about costs for licensing the Oracle Secure Backup Cloud Module. We have been using Oracle Secure Backup Express Edition and would like to know if there are additional API/License costs for using Oracle Secure Backup Cloud Module in additional to the $33/TB per month cost listed on the Oracle Cloud Database Backup page at https://cloud.oracle.com/database_backup?tabID=1394421701419.
We have spoken with 6 different sales and technical reps at Oracle and at Oracle Cloud and none have been able to provide a clear answer for this question. We have been directed to this forum, by the staff at Oracle Cloud.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I 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.
