We would like to used Oracle secure backup using SAS interface on an IBM Autoloader Model TS-2900. Would it be possible to configure oracle secure backup using SAS?

Hi Nolimer,

Good Question!

Oracle Secure Backup (OSB) enables you to use RMAN to backup directly to tape library without using the costly third-party MML layer.

OSB can be controlled and administered via Oracle Enterprise Manager or the obtool command-line.

The obtool is a command-0line interface, executed from the OS level using the "ob" prompt.

Here are the obtool commands:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14812_01/doc/do...ol_commands.htm

The "backup --go" command forwards a secure backup command to the Oracle job scheduler

ob> backup --go

Here is how to execute a sqlplus command from a remote host, this may be modifiable for obtool:

Anywhere that you can invoke Oracle processes will be able to run an RMAN backup, you need only invoke it from the calling environment. I have not done SAS in 25 years, but yes, I'll bet that you can embed an obtool command.

If you can create a shell script from the SAS encironment thast will be able to remotely execute obtool then you will be home free.

Thank you for the answer. Sir donald, Is SAS connectivity is not supported on AIX media servers?

No, according to Donna in the link above, SAS connectivity is not supported on AIX media servers.

Hi sir donald,

Yes sir donald, Romel is my colleague. by the way sir, what is the difference between SCSI with SAS? And what is the importance of the two connection?

Thank you for the info sir donald.

Hardware: SCSI (pronounced "scuzzy") is an ultra-fast, high-power communications bus that connects up to 15 devices to your computer.

Software: SAS: Statistical Analysis Software.
