Loading Oracle Secure Backup Software on Solaris or Linux Using setup Script

Loading the Oracle Secure Backup software is the process by which packages of files required to install Oracle Secure Backup on one or more platforms are extracted from the installation media and staged in the Oracle Secure Backup home for later use by the installob installation script. The setup script is used to perform this loading process.

Note:

Network administrators may find it convenient to load Oracle Secure Backup installation files for multiple platforms on the administrative server. You can hold these binaries in reserve for installation to various hosts in their administrative domain at a later time. It is not, however, required that you load the installation files for all platforms on the administrative server. You can also extract installation files and run setup and install separately on each host.

This example illustrates the loading process on a Solaris 64-bit host called dlsun1976. However, these instructions apply to all Linux and UNIX operating systems.

To load Oracle Secure Backup into an Oracle Secure Backup home directory for later installation on one or more platforms:

Log into your Linux or UNIX operating system as root.
Change to the Oracle Secure Backup home directory created in "Creating the Oracle Secure Backup Home". For example:
```
# cd /usr/local/oracle/backup
```

Run the setup script from your installation media or extracted archive directory. Enter the following command:

#/media_dir/setup

where /media_dir is the CD-ROM mount point or the directory containing the files extracted from the downloaded archive.

For example, if you downloaded an archive from Oracle Technology Network (OTN) and extracted the setup software to the /tmp/osbdownload/OB directory, then you would run the setup program as follows:

# /tmp/osbdownload/OB/setup

The setup program displays output similar to the following:

Welcome to Oracle's setup program for Oracle Secure Backup.  This
program loads Oracle Secure Backup software from the CD-ROM to a filesystem
directory of your choosing.
 
This CD-ROM contains Oracle Secure Backup version 10.1.0.1.0.
 
Please wait a moment while I learn about this host... done.

You may load any of the following Oracle Secure Backup packages:
    1. linux32 (RH 2.1, RHEL 3, RHEL 4, SuSE 8, SuSE 9)
       administrative server, media server, client
    2. solaris64 (Solaris 2.8 and later, SPARC)
       administrative server, media server, client
 
Enter a space-separated list of packages you'd like to load.  To load all
packages, enter 'all' [2]:

Each package contains the binaries and other files required to install Oracle Secure Backup on that platform. Enter the number or numbers that identify the installation packages that you want to load, so that they will be staged for later installation on Linux or Unix hosts in your administrative domain.

Note:

You can run setup again in the future if necessary, to load packages for more platforms into the Oracle Secure Backup home, without affecting existing installations of Oracle Secure Backup.

To load the Oracle Secure Backup installation package for a single host, enter the appropriate number for that platform. For this example, enter 2 to load only the package of Oracle Secure Backup for a Solaris 64 host. The following output is displayed:

-  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -
Loading Oracle Secure Backup installation tools ... done. 
Loading solaris64 administrative server, media server, client ... done.

Loading of Oracle Secure Backup software from CD-ROM is complete.  You may
unmount and remove the CD-ROM.

Note:

At this point the setup process is complete. The files required to install Oracle Secure Backup on the platforms you specified are stored in the Oracle Secure Backup home on this host.

Starting the Oracle Secure Backup installob Script From setup

setup now displays the following question:

Would you like to continue Oracle Secure Backup installation with 'installob' 
now? (The Oracle Secure Backup Installation Guide 
contains complete information about installob.)  
Please answer 'yes' or 'no' [yes]:

At this point the setup script can start the installob script to install Oracle Secure Backup on the local host or, using a push installation, deploy it on other Linux or UNIX hosts on your network. You can also defer this task until later.

Choose one of the following:

Enter no if you want to run installob later, or if you need to customize some aspect of your installation process using the obparameters file, as described in "Optional: Configuring Installation Parameters in the obparameters File".

In this case, the following message displays:
```
When you are ready to continue:
 1. log in as (or 'su' to) root
 2. cd to /usr/local/oracle/backup
 3. run install/installob
```
The setup script then exits.
Enter yes to start the installob script. The steps for running installob are described in "Installing Oracle Secure Backup on Linux or UNIX with installob".

Note:

If the setup script is interrupted, it is possible that some temporary files, named OBnnnn or OBnnnn.Z, remain in /usr/tmp. You can delete these files.
