Add User Equivalence to the SAPDBA User

Before you can use the Enterprise Option for SAP HANA, add the HDBADM user as an Arcserve Backup user. This provides necessary permission and enables the backup option integration module to send jobs to the Arcserve Backup server. You must establish the authentication equivalence settings with proper privileges.

Note: Within Arcserve Backup, the unique key is hostname.username. You cannot use the User Profile Manager.

Follow these steps:

1. As a prerequisite, verify that the Arcserve Backup server is running.
2. Open the command line on the Arcserve Backup server and set the user equivalence using the following syntax:

   ca_auth [-cahost <BackupServer hostname>] -equiv add <HDBADMUser> <SAPAgent hostname> <ABBackupUser> [<ABUsername> <ABpassword>]
   

   Example:

   $>ca_auth -cahost BackupSever -equiv add hdbadm hanaserver  caroot caroot""
   

   This command authorizes HDBADM user, hdbadm, on the hanaserver machine, to use the Arcserve Backup user name, caroot, on the Arcserve Backup Server host.

   Note: In this example, caroot has no password, so “ “ is used.

For more information about setting user equivalence, see the Command Line Reference Guide.
