Configuring the Administrative Domain with Hosts
5-6 Oracle Secure Backup Installation and Configuration Guide
Select this option to enter a password.
■ Set to NULL
Check this to use a NULL password.
The password is used to authenticate Oracle Secure Backup to this NDMP server.
13. In the Backup type field, enter an NDMP backup type. A backup type is the name
of a backup method supported by the NDMP data service running on a host.
Backup types are defined by each data service provider.
14. In the Protocol Version list, select 2, 3, 4, or as proposed by server. See "Oracle
Secure Backup Host Access Modes" on page 1-3 for details on NDMP protocol
versions.
15. In the Port field, enter a port number. Typically, the TCP port (10000) in the NDMP
policy is used. You can specify another port if this server uses a port other than the
default.
16. If the host you are adding to the administrative domain is not currently accessible
on the network, then select the Suppress communication with host option.
17. Click OK to save your changes.
Adding the Media Server Role to an Administrative Server
If you choose both the administrative server and media server roles when installing
Oracle Secure Backup on a host, then that host is automatically part of the
administrative domain. But it is not recognized as a media server until that role is
explicitly granted to it using the chhost command in obtool or the Oracle Secure
Backup Web tool.
Follow these steps to add the media server role to an administrative server using the
Oracle Secure Backup Web tool:
1. On the Configure page of the Oracle Secure Backup Web tool, click Hosts.
The Configure: Hosts page appears.
Note: The practice of supplying a password in clear text on a
command line or in a command script is not recommended by Oracle.
It is a security vulnerability. The recommended procedure is to have
the user be prompted for the password.

semantics for the chhost command
