linux db dir and solaris64 db dir
B-4 Oracle Secure Backup Installation and Configuration Guide
linux db dir and solaris64 db dir
Each platform has a discrete directory in which Oracle Secure Backup retains
host-specific information. This directory must be private to each platform and not
shared through Network File System (NFS) or a similar remote file system.
linux temp dir and solaris64 temp dir
Oracle Secure Backup typically uses the /usr/tmp directory on each host for storage
of transient files. Oracle Secure Backup requires that the temporary directory be able
to contain lockable files and that it be accessible during the beginning of the restart
process. The directory must be on the local disk. You can specify a different directory
for each platform by modifying any of these <os-name> temp dir parameters.
linux links and solaris64 links
During installation, symbolic links are created, typically in /usr/bin and /etc, so
that an Oracle Secure Backup user is not required to change search paths. You can
modify this behavior as follows:
■ Comment out or delete these parameters if you do not want the installation
programs to create any links.
■ Change the value of these parameters if you want the installation programs to
create links in another directory for a specific platform.
These parameters are particular to each supported platform. On some systems, it
might be more appropriate to place links in /bin instead of /usr/bin or in
/usr/etc instead of /etc.
This parameter must be followed by three values, in the order shown:
Table B–7 os-name ob dir: Parameters and Values
Parameter Meaning
linux ob dir Specifies Oracle Secure Backup home location for Linux hosts.
The default is /usr/local/oracle/backup.
solaris64 ob dir Specifies Oracle Secure Backup home location for Solaris 64-bit
hosts. The default is /usr/local/oracle/backup.
Table B–8 os-name db dir: Parameters and Values
Parameter Meaning
linux db dir Specifies the directory where host-specific information is
retained for Linux hosts. The default directory is /usr/etc/ob.
solaris64 db dir Specifies the directory where host-specific information is
retained for Solaris 64-bit hosts. The default directory is
/usr/etc/ob.
Table B–9 os-name temp dir: Parameters and Values
Parameter Meaning
linux temp dir Specifies the directory where transient files are stored for Linux
hosts. The default directory is /usr/tmp.
solaris64 temp
dir
Specifies the directory where transient files are stored for Solaris
64-bit hosts. The default directory is /usr/tmp.
