Using OEM to backup/restore DB using EMC Avamar (3rd party)

AnantApr 12 2012 — edited May 4 2012
Hi,

I'm trying to find a solution for using OEM to backup and restore DB using EMC Avamar software.

Normally, we can backup/restore DB using Avamar through RMAN CLI using scripts similar to the following:

connect target /
run {
configure controlfile autobackup on;
set controlfile autobackup format for device type sbt to 'CONTROLFILE.orcl.%F';
allocate channel c0 type sbt PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=c:\PROGRA~1\avs\bin\orasbt64.dll" format '%d_%U';
send '"--prefix=11g/orcl/" "--flagfile=c:\flagfile\avtar-flags.txt" "--bindir=c:\PROGRA~1\avs\bin"';
backup database plus archivelog delete input;
release channel c0;
}

Where orasbt64.dll is the name of Avamar's 64bit library and flagfile contains some internal flags necessary for backup/restore operations.

Now, I want to use OEM for the same thing so, what I did was try to specify the Media Management Vendor Library Parameters under Backup Settings in OEM. I saved the following as the parameters:
"SBT_LIBRARY=c:\PROGRA~1\avs\bin\orasbt64.dll";

Even after this, the backup script generated by OEM does not contain this parameter. Naturally, backups to EMC Avamar fail.

I would like answers to these 2 questions:

1. How to correctly specify the Media Management Vendor Library Parameters?
2. Is there a way to specify all the parameters (--prefix, flagfile, bindir, PARMS etc.) so that the script generated by OEM is same (or as close as possible) to the one I use for RMAN CLI backups.

Thanks!
