PDFs

There are several steps required to enable backups by SnapManager for SAP to work from the DBA Planning Calendar transaction DB13.

  1. Change the permissions of the /oracle/SID/sapbackup directory to allow write access by the sidadm user identifier.

    Use the following command as orasid: chmod 775 /oracle/SID/sapbackup

    This will allow members of the dbagroup to write to that directory. The user identifier sidadm is a member of the dba group.

  2. Change the permissions of the SnapManager for SAP credentials file for orasid to allow sidadm access. Use the following command executed by orasid:

    Use the following command executed by orasid: chmod 660 /oracle/SID/.netapp/smsap/credentials

    Follow the directions in section 3.3, "Registering Systems in the Repository" of TR-3582 "SnapManager for SAP Best Practices" to register the sidadm user identifier in the SnapManager for SAP repository.
