HP A.06.11 - Manual (Page 238)

• To test whether the SAP DB/MaxDB system and the Cell Manager communicate
properly, configure and run a Data Protector filesystem backup and restore on
the SAP DB/MaxDB system.
Cluster-aware clients
Configure SAP DB/MaxDB instances only on one cluster node, since the configuration
files reside on the Cell Manager.
If you intend to use the Data Protector CLI, set the Data Protector environment variable
OB2BARHOSTNAME
to the virtual server name as follows:
Windows: set OB2BARHOSTNAME=virtual_server_name
UNIX: export OB2BARHOSTNAME=virtual_server_name
Configuring SAP DB/MaxDB users
Create or identify an SAP DB/MaxDB database user with at least the following
SAP DB/MaxDB permissions:
• Saving backups (Backup)
• Restoring backups (Recovery)
• Installation management (InstallMgm)
• Parameter access (ParamCheckWrite)
The last two permissions are required for the Data Protector configuration.
UNIX only: Add the OS user under whose account SAP DB/MaxDB is running
(SAP DB/MaxDB OS user) and user root to the Data Protector admin or operator
group. For more information, see the online Help index: “adding users”. For example,
by default, the SAP DB/MaxDB OS user is the user sapdb in the group sapsys.
Configuring SAP DB/MaxDB instances
You need to provide Data Protector with the following configuration parameters for
the SAP DB/MaxDB instance:
• Username of the SAP DB/MaxDB database user.
• Password of the SAP DB/MaxDB database user.
• Optionally, the SAP DB/MaxDB independent program path parameter
To configure an SAP DB/MaxDB instance, use the Data Protector GUI or CLI.
