Enabling database access for Oracle operations on Windows computers

You can use the Remote Agent Utility to enable database access for the Windows media server after you configure an Oracle instance.

To enable database access for Oracle operations on Windows computers

  1. On the computer on which the Remote Agent is installed, on the taskbar, click Start > All Programs > Symantec Backup Exec > Backup Exec 2010 Remote Agent Utility.

    When the Remote Agent Utility is running, an icon appears in the system tray. You can double-click this icon to view the utility.

  2. On the Database Access tab, complete the appropriate options.

    See Database access options for the Remote Agent Utility .

  3. Click OK.

  4. For Oracle RAC installations, type the fully qualified domain name that you want to publish to.

    The media server that you publish to lists the RAC databases in its backup selection tree, under the node named Oracle Real Application Clusters.

    If you do not enter a fully qualified domain name to publish to, the RAC databases are not listed in the media server’s backup selection tree.

    See About publishing the Remote Agent for Windows Systems to media servers.

  5. On the media server, add the name of the Oracle server and the user name that you enabled for database access to the media server’s list of authentication credentials.
