5.0 General Considerations

The following sections provide general information to consider when using BrightStor ARCserve Backup. No changes have been made to the general considerations for each BrightStor ARCserve Backup component for this service pack. However, after the release of BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5, information relating to the following agents was included in this readme because these agents are now included in this CD:

• BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows Agent for Oracle

• BrightStor ARCserve Backup for UNIX Agent for Oracle

• BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Linux Agent for Oracle

The added information is identical to the information supplied for these agents by the readme files for each platform for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5.

5.1 Agent for Oracle (UNIX) Considerations

The following section provides information to consider when using the BrightStor ARCserve Backup for UNIX Agent for Oracle:

• Although the Disk Staging Option has been added to BrightStor ARCserve Backup, child jobs generated by RMAN use the full backup staging policy. You cannot currently extend incremental or differential staging policies to the child jobs generated by RMAN, although this functionality is expected to be included in a future release.

5.2 Agent for Oracle (Linux) Considerations

The following section provides information to consider when using the BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Linux Agent for Oracle:

• The Restore by Media and Restore by Session options are not supported for this release.

• Cross-platform management is supported only on the Agent for Oracle, Agent for Informix, and Agent for Sybase.

• Because of a requirement imposed by Oracle, you must add the following to the Common Agent configuration file, agent.cfg, on Red Hat Linux 3.0:

  LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
  

  Add this environment variable to the section for the Agent for Oracle, as in the following example:

  [46]
  # Oracle Agent
  NAME   OracleAgent
  VERSION    11.5.0
  HOME       /opt/CA/BABoraagt
  #ENV       BAB_HOME=/opt/CA/BrightStorARCserve
  ENV        CAS_ENV_ORACLE_AGENT_HOME=/opt/CA/BABoraagt
  #ENV       CA_ENV_NUM_OF_REST_BUFF=
  ENV        DAYS_ORAGENTD_LOGS_RETAINED=1
  ENV        DAYS_RMAN_SCRIPTS_RETAINED=1
  ENV        LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
  ENV        CAS_INITIATED=1
  ENV        ORACLE_SHUTDOWN_TYPE=immediate
  #ENV   NLS_LANG=american
  ENV        NLS_DATE_FORMAT=MM/DD/YYYY/HH24:MI:SS
  ENV    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/CA/BABcmagt:/usr/lib:/opt/CA/BABoraagt:/opt/CA/BABoraagt/lib:/opt/CA/CAlib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  BROWSER        oraclebr
  AGENT      oragentd
  

  Additionally, you must set this environment variable before starting Oracle.

• Although the BrightStor® ARCserve® Backup Disk Staging Option has been added to BrightStor ARCserve Backup, child jobs generated by RMAN use the full backup staging policy. You cannot currently extend incremental or differential staging policies to the child jobs generated by RMAN, although this functionality is expected to be included in a future release.

6.0 Known Issues

• BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Linux Agent for Oracle

The added information is identical to the information supplied for these agents by the readme files for each platform for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5.

For information originally released with BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5 and included in this release of BrightStor ARCserve Backup, see the section Known Issues for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5.

6.1 Known Issues for the Client Agent for Windows

The following issues related to the Client Agent for Windows are known to exist in this release:

• When you restore sessions backed up with the 32-bit Client Agent for Windows to a machine running the 64-bit Client Agent for Windows, encrypted sessions cannot be restored.

6.2 Known Issues for the Agent for Oracle (Windows)

The following issues related to the BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows Agent for Oracle are known to exist in this release:

• If you use WORM media as the destination for any cross-platform jobs involving the BrightStor ARCserve Backup for UNIX Agent for Oracle or the BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Linux Agent for Oracle, these agents may not behave as expected. Child jobs are submitted by the agent, and, because WORM media is not supported on the UNIX or Linux agents, these child jobs may use destinations other than the WORM media.

6.3 Known Issues for the Agent for Oracle (UNIX)

The following issues related to the BrightStor ARCserve Backup for UNIX Agent for Oracle are known to exist in this release:

• The Restore by Media and Restore by Session options are not supported for this release.

• You cannot back up multiple Oracle instances in the same job.

• You cannot mix Oracle instance backups and other backup types (for example file system backup or any other database type backup).

• Due to a known issue with Oracle, if you are using Oracle 8.1.6 32-bit on AIX 4.3.3, you may encounter difficulty restoring a successfully created backup because RMAN fails to accurately recognize the backup. You can, however, restore your data using an older backup. Therefore, we recommend that you periodically run a validate operation on your backups to ensure that you have a prior backup from which to restore. If you reduce the block size and run the backup again, you may be able to enable the restore operation (although no specific valid value has been determined).

• The Smart Restore functionality is not supported for the Agent for Oracle.

• Merge operations on file system devices containing Oracle backup sessions are not supported for this release.

• You must supply the correct host name when registering Agent for Oracle nodes in the BrightStor ARCserve Backup database.

• The agent does not support session passwords.

• You must use an RMAN Catalog to run jobs with the Oracle option Include Control File Oracle option enabled from the Oracle Restore Manager. If you enabled the control file autobackup feature for the target database before using the Agent for Oracle, use your own RMAN scripts to restore an autobackup of the control file. For more information, see the Agent for Oracle Guide.

• Compare Media to Disk is not supported on Agent for Oracle sessions.

• If you select multiple channels to back up, you must have available, at minimum, the same number of device groups as channels and you must select the Any Group option in the GUI.

6.4 Known Issues for the Agent for Oracle (Linux)

The following issues related to the BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Linux Agent for Oracle are known to exist in this release:

• You cannot back up multiple Oracle instances in the same job.

• You cannot mix Oracle instance backups and other backup types (for example, file system backup or any other database type backup).

• This release of BrightStor ARCserve Backup cannot restore data backed up with the BrightStor® ARCserve® Backup version 9.0 Agent for Oracle.

• Merge operations on file system devices containing Oracle backup sessions are not supported for this release. However, merge operations with tapes containing Oracle backup sessions are successful.

• The agent does not support session passwords.

• Backup with Compare is not supported on Agent for Oracle sessions.

12.0 Installation Considerations for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5

The following sections provide information related to installation for each of the BrightStor ARCserve Backup components included on this CD for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5.

Note: For information added to BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5 and released with BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5 SP1 and SP2 for the components included on this CD, see the section Installation Considerations.

The following section provides information about installation prerequisites, configurations, and issues to consider before installing the BrightStor ARCserve Backup Client Agents.

• Remote installation and response file installation of the Client Agents for Windows 98 and Windows Me are not supported in the Master Setup.

• If you perform a full node backup on AS400 systems, you must select the Traverse across File System (UNIX System Only) node option on the Miscellaneous tab of the Backup Manager.

13.0 Known Issues for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5

The following sections provide information about issues known to exist for the BrightStor ARCserve Backup components included on this CD for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5.

Note: For information about issues known to exist only in the release of BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5 SP1 and SP2 for the components included on this CD, see the section Known Issues.

13.1 Known Issues for the Client Agents

The following issues related to the Client Agents are known to exist in this release:

• For the Client Agent for Windows, installing 32-bit components on a 64-bit machine generates two copies of the file PortsConfig.cfg on the machine. The PortsConfig.cfg file for the 64-bit components is in C:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\BrightStor and the PortsConfig.cfg file for the 32-bit components is in C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SharedComponents\BrightStor. If you make changes to one, you must make the same changes to the other, or the components may not be able to contact one another.

• You cannot use the Client Agent for NetWare included in this release with the BrightStor ARCserve Backup for NetWare r11.1 Manager. The Client Agent for NetWare included in this release requires the BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows r11.5 Manager GUI.

• When running the Client Agent for NetWare on NetWare 4.2, the agent requires the clibaux.nlm enhancement module provided by Novell (refer to Novell Technical Information Document 2955000).

• When a full NetWare machine is selected for backup, the NDS session is not backed up. You must explicitly select the NDS session and other volumes to be backed up.

• The Client Agent for NetWare handles only one job at a time. If a backup job includes the NetWare volume and NDS of the same node, it creates two nodes for the job in the job package, and, because multiplexing or multistreaming jobs create two jobs for the NetWare node and the two jobs run simultaneously, the agent rejects the second job.

• The NetWare Services branch has been removed from the Network tree in the Backup and Restore Managers. To back up a NetWare machine from the BrightStor ARCserve Backup host, you must install the Client Agent for NetWare on the machine.

• Whole node backup operations are not supported with the Client Agent for AS400.
