installhere

Purpose

Use the installhere tool to complete the installation of Oracle Secure Backup on a local host only (not over the network). An installation is incomplete if the Oracle Secure Backup software has already been loaded onto the host, but has not yet been installed. You must run this utility as root.

Prerequisites

You must run this utility as root on a Linux or UNIX system.

Syntax

install/installhere installtype [ -a admin-server ] [ -f ]

Semantics

installtype

Specifies the what role is assigned to the host during installation. Valid values are client, mediaserver, and admin.

-a admin-server

Specifies the administrative server for the domain to which this host belongs.

-f

Forces an update of the /etc/obconfig file, which specifies directory defaults. The following sample obconfig file shows typical defaults:

ob dir:                      /usr/local/oracle/backup
local db dir:                /usr/etc/ob
temp dir:                    /usr/tmp
admin dir:                   /usr/local/oracle/backup/admin

The -f option is a useful way to force an update when the host is being reconfigured and Oracle Secure Backup directory defaults are changing.

Example

Example 5-1 uses installhere to complete the Oracle Secure Backup installation on this client host. The command specifies brhost2 as the administrative server for the domain.

# install/installhere client -a brhost2
