RMAN Prerequisites

Before you can back up with RMAN and the agent, you must:

• Use the Arcserve libobk library files by performing one of these actions:
  • Relink Oracle
  • Use SBT_LIBRARY in the RMAN script (depending on the platform and Oracle version)
• Add the Oracle user who owns the Oracle database files as equivalent to an Arcserve Backup user.

Note: For information about performing these tasks, see Post-Installation Tasks Required for Recovery Manager.
