installnet

Purpose

Use the installnet tool to install or uninstall Oracle Secure Backup on multiple hosts. installnet takes as its argument the name of a Network Description File (NDF).Note that installnet enables you to both install Oracle Secure Backup on a media server and configure tape devices, whereas installhost only performs installation.

Prerequisites

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

Syntax

install/installnet desc-file 
[ -f | [ [ -U | -UU ]
         [ -np ] ] ]
[ -h hostname[,hostname]... ]

Semantics

desc-file

Specifies the name of a network installation description file. A sample NDF named obndf is located in the install directory of the Oracle Secure Backup home.

-f

Forces an update of each host, regardless of whether the version of Oracle Secure Backup software on that host is already up to date.

-U

Uninstalls Oracle Secure Backup from each host. The admin subdirectory of the Oracle Secure Backup home is not removed from the administrative server.

-UU

Uninstalls Oracle Secure Backup from each host. The admin subdirectory of the Oracle Secure Backup home is removed from the administrative server.

-np

Suppresses confirmation message for each host to be uninstalled.

-h hostname

Limits the installation to the specified hosts listed in the NDF. By default, installnet installs Oracle Secure Backup on all hosts listed in the NDF.

Example

Example 5-3 uses installnet to uninstall Oracle Secure Backup from three clients. The admin subdirectory is also removed from the administrative server.

# install/installnet -UU client -h brhost2,brhost3,brhost4
