Install the Agent

The Agent for Oracle is a client program you install on one of the following:

• The server on which Oracle Server resides
• At least one node in a Real Application Cluster (RAC) environment that has access to all archive logs

The Agent for Oracle follows the standard installation procedure for the Arcserve Backup system components, agents, and options. For information about installing Arcserve Backup, see the Implementation Guide.

This section describes the installation prerequisites and considerations for the agent, and provides detailed instructions for all post installation tasks.

Note: You must install the agent on all Oracle database servers managed by Arcserve Backup.
