If you do not need to protect the VMware VM where the Oracle database is installed, skip this section.
Prerequisites
- You have obtained the eReplication Agent software package and related documents and tools.
The installation package name of the eReplication Agent is in the format of Software name Software version_Agent-Application server's CPU architecture and bit number.tar.gz. The following details each part of the installation package name:
- Software version must be the actual version in use. In this document, software version is represented by an asterisk (*).
- Application server's CPU architecture and bit number: The format varies according to the number of CPU bits of application servers.
This section uses OceanStor BCManager *_Agent-CentOS7-x86_64.tar.gz as an example.
- The signature file and digital signature public key have been obtained and the software integrity has been verified.
- On the page for downloading the eReplication software package, you can download the .asc digital signature file whose name is the same as that of the software package.
- You have used the digital signature public key and verification tool provided by the website to verify the digital signature of the software package. You can obtain the digital signature public key, verification tool, and their usage methods from:
- A tool, such as PuTTY, is available for remote access across various platforms.
Procedure
- Use PuTTY to log in to the VM where the Oracle database is installed as user root.
- Run the TMOUT=0 command to disable user logout upon system timeout.
After you run the preceding command, the system continues to run even when no operation is performed, resulting in security risks. For security purposes, you are advised to run the exit command to exit the system after completing your operations.
- (Optional) If the /home/Agent directory does not exist, create the Agent directory under the /home directory.
- Run the cd /home command to go to the /home directory.
- Run the mkdir Agent command to create the Agent directory.
- Copy eReplication Agent installation package OceanStor BCManager *_Agent-CentOS7-x86_64.tar.gz to the /home/Agent directory on the production application server.
- Run the cd /home/Agent command to go to the directory where the Agent's installation package resides.
- Run the gzip -d "OceanStor BCManager *_Agent-CentOS7-x86_64.tar.gz" command to decompress the installation package in the gz format.
- Run the tar -xvf "OceanStor BCManager *_Agent-CentOS7-x86_64.tar.gz" command to decompress the installation package in the tar format.
- Run the cd sbin/thirdparty/sample command to go to the script save path and check whether the following scripts exist:
sh_funcs.sh
csh_funcs.sh
post-thaw-script
pre-freeze-script
- Copy the four scripts obtained in Step 8 to the /user/sbin directory of the VM.
- Run the vi Script name command and modify the following configuration items in the post-thaw-script and pre-freeze-script scripts:
The database user password is optional. If OS authentication is enabled, you do not need to set this item. If OS authentication is not enabled, set this item.
Database user account: username=admin
Database user password: password=password
Database instance name: ORACLE_SID=hwdb
Installation directory of the database: ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/18.3.1/dbhome_1
Operating system account for running the database: oracle_user=oracle
The values of the preceding configuration items are only examples. Change them based on the site requirements.
- If there are multiple VMs where the Oracle database is installed, repeat Step 1 to Step 10 on each VM.
