installhost

Purpose

Use the installhost tool to install Oracle Secure Backup on multiple Linux or UNIX hosts on the network. This utility is similar to installob, except installhost does not ask you whether to reinstall on the local host because you specify the target in the command line.

Prerequisites

You must run this utility as root on a Linux or UNIX system. You must have rsh capability.

Syntax

install/installhost installtype hostname[,hostname]... [ -a admin-server ] [ -f ]

Semantics

installtype

Specifies the role to be assigned to the specified hosts. Valid values are client, server (for the media server role), and admin.

hostname

Specifies the name of the host to which you want to copy Oracle Secure Backup.

-a admin-server

Specifies the administrative server to be used by the host.

-f

Forces an update of the /etc/obconfig file on each host. This option is a useful way to force an update when the host is being reconfigured and Oracle Secure Backup directory defaults are changing.

Example

Example 5-2 uses installhost to install Oracle Secure Backup on three new clients: brhost2, brhost3, and brhost4.

# install/installhost client brhost2,brhost3,brhost4
