You must install SnapManager on each host where the database you want to backup is running.

You must have installed SnapDrive for UNIX on the database host and established a connection to the storage system.

For information about how to install SnapDrive and establish connection to storage system, see SnapDrive for UNIX documentation.

You must install one SnapManager instance per database host. If you are using a Real Application Cluster (RAC) database and want to back up the RAC database, you must install SnapManager on all the hosts of the RAC database.
