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 an 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 an 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 equivalent to an Arcserve Backup user on each node that is a part of the RAC cluster.
