Add the Oracle User as a Arcserve Backup User Equivalency

To back up, you must add the Oracle user who owns the Oracle database files as a Arcserve Backup user equivalency.

To add the user, follow these steps:

1. Ensure Arcserve Backup is loaded and running.
2. Go to the Arcserve Backup home folder and enter the following command:

   ca_auth [-cahost CAAB_hostname] -equiv add <Oracle_username> <Linux_hostname> CAAB_username [CAAB_username] [CAAB_userpassword]
   

   CAAB_username must be a Arcserve Backup administrator.

Note: If you have installed the agent in a Real Application Cluster (RAC) environment, you must also add the Oracle user who owns the Oracle database files as a Arcserve Backup user equivalency on each node that is a part of the RAC cluster.
