I assume that you have Linux RAC ,please use following steps to configure oracle RAC database in Backup Exec 2012.
One important note after performing following steps, first you need to add the RAC Nodes in backup exec 2012 then only you will see RAC virtual node in media server ( virtual gets automatically added )
RAC databases should appear in the BE console selection lists under the top level branch "Oracle Real Application Clusters". This is because operations need to be performed at the database level rather than browsing to the individual servers.
RAC database PHAROS with Db-id 3514636826 will have the virtual name RAC-PHAROS-3514636826. The remote agents will advertise this name.
Add O/S user that has DBA privileges (the owner of oracle binaries) to the beoper group
Copy /etc/oratab to /etc/VRTSralus/beoratab
Replace the dbname entries in /etc/VRTSralus/beoratab with the name of the instance of the RAC database on that machine
This example uses the root account to configure the agent. Note: the user account with which you are logged in cannot be a member of the Oracle DBA group. If root is a member of the Oracle DBA group, expect to see problems verifying the credentials.
Make sure you have installed the 64-bit agent if you are running 64-bit O/S. The 32-bit version will install but it will also exhibit problems verifying the credentials.
Each node of the RAC has an Oracle SID which can be different from the database name
Each node's Oracle SID can be identified by the environment variable ORACLE_SID (echo $ORACLE_SID at a command line)
Example 2-node RAC
Physical Host Name |
ORACLE_SID |
Database Instance Name |
DatabaseID |
---|---|---|---|
OracleServer1 |
PHAROS1 |
PHAROS |
3514636826 |
OracleServer2 |
PHAROS2 |
PHAROS |
3514636826 |
To find the database instance name and database identifier (DB-ID)
sqlplus SYS as SYSDBA
or to connect to a specific Oracle SID, sqlplus SYS@PHAROS1 as SYSDBA
select DBID,NAME from v$database;
su - root
cd /opt/VRTSralus/bin
./AgentConfig
Tools, Options, Oracle, Modify list... as per 1 and 2 below. But for a TWO-node RAC, you will need THREE server-account mappings: One for each node plus one for the virtual node name as it appears in Backup Exec Selection lists.
For each physical node, you will need to add a new entry as per 3. Basically, you enter the name of the node (again FQDN) and you relate that to an existing logon account. If you need to, you can tell Backup Exec about a New logon account via 4 or...
Network, Logon Accounts...
Add the virtual node name and the corresponding Linux account that will be used to authenticate the connection. RAC-DatabaseName-DatabaseID eg "RAC-PHAROS-3514636826" and oracle, for example.

Hi,
Oracel RAC would appear something like RAC-<database name>-<database ID>. For backing up Oracle RAC database backup from this virtual resource should be done and not from individual cluster nodes.

good afternoon friends, I had a procedure performed on the console of BE 2012, but I get an error like this, if I can help with this problem that I have to wait too long. or handling well the oracle but already configured the agent but as I set.

Hi,
Try adding the local instance SID in "Local Instance Name" field instead of virtual resource name 'RAC-DPWCTNP-1819698902'. The Oracle SID which would be specific to this node only.
Thanks.
