Install the Option on Database Servers

After the installation of the option is complete, an express configuration script for the option starts automatically. The script lets you configure the Enterprise Option to back up SAP databases to data mover servers configured with locally attached devices, the primary server, or member servers. You must execute the script to complete the installation.

To install the option on database servers

1. Specify the path to the Oracle home directory.

   To specify the default Oracle home directory, press Enter. The default directory is as follows:

   /opt/oracle
   

   To specify a different directory, input the directory path and then press Enter.

2. Specify the Oracle SID.

   To specify the default SID, press Enter. The default SID is as follows:

   SAPID
   

   To specify a different SID, input the SID and then press Enter.

3. Specify the path to the SAP home directory.

   To specify the default SAP home directory, press Enter. The default directory is as follows:

   /usr/sap
   

   To specify a different directory, input the directory path and then press Enter.

4. Specify the complete directory path to the backup utility parameter file and then press Enter.
5. If the script detects that the UNIX and Linux Data Mover component is installed on the node, you must specify that you want to back up SAP data to the data mover server. Do one of the following:
   • Enter "y" if you want to back up SAP data to the data mover server.
   • Enter "n" if you do not want to back up SAP data to the data mover server.

     Note: If you specified "n" or the UNIX and Linux Data Mover component is not installed on the node, the script prompts you to specify the host name of the Arcserve Backup server where you will back up data. The Arcserve Backup server can be a primary server or a member server.

6. Specify the user name and password that you will use to log in to the SAP tools (for example, SAPDBA) to submit backup jobs.

The configuration is complete.
