Name |
Description |
---|---|
Physical client name |
The client name of the Oracle RAC node. |
Oracle RAC database name |
|
Oracle user name (ORACLE_USER) |
This is the operating system user name for the Oracle application. The user has complete administrative privileges (read and write permissions) on the Oracle database files and can perform database backups. On UNIX, the user must be part of the user group used when you installed the Oracle Agent. |
Oracle remote password file name |
Add the following entry to the Oracle profile:

Instance name (ORACLE_SID) |
Name of the ORACLE instance running on each node. To verify the instance is correct and belongs to the Oracle RAC database, do the following:
|
Connect string user name and password |
This is the Oracle database user name. Provide the user name and password of the database user that has sysdba privileges. |
Connect string name |
The Connect string name is used to connect to each RAC database node. The following rules apply to the Connect string name:
|
TNS_ADMIN folder |
This is an environment variable parameter that points to the directory where the SQL*Net configuration files (for example, sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora) are located. This parameter is optional and only needs to be set when the SQL*Net configuration is present in a non-default location. If this is not set the configuration files are obtained from the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory. |
ORACLE_HOME |
The Oracle application install path in the Oracle RAC node. |
SCAN connect |
If you use SCAN connect to invoke RMAN, then the Commvault software must be installed on the same path on all Oracle RAC nodes. |
