The IRIX NetWorker BusinesSuite Module for Oracle Administrator's Guide contains information on how to configure and manage the IRIX NetWorker™ BusinesSuite Module for Oracle® database storage management software.
In the original release, BusinesSuite Module for Oracle was called Database Module for Oracle, abbreviated DMO. This acronym still exists in subsystem names.
Use the information in this guide in conjunction with the IRIX NetWorker Administrator's Guide and the document set provided with your Oracle7 Server® software.
This book is intended for system administrators and database administrators (DBAs) who install software and maintain Oracle7 Server on a network.
The information presented here provides guidelines for using and administrating BusinesSuite Module for Oracle (DMO) in a typical network environment. For details on using the NetWorker command-line interface, refer to the online NetWorker reference pages after you install the software.
To run BusinesSuite Module for Oracle, systems must have the following:
IRIX NetWorker release 4.2.5-B or 4.2.9-B installed on the storage management server.
NetWorker client software, release 4.2.5-B or 4.2.9-B, installed on the system running Oracle7 Server. If NetWorker software is not installed, refer to the IRIX NetWorker Installation Guide for instructions.
