Installation of EMC Netwoker agent for backup Oracle DB on Linux

In one of previous posts I explained how to install EMC Networker agent for backup file system on Linux. Same package dependencies are applied here. To be honest I never installed package for backup Oracle DB without previously installing Networker agent for backup file system. 
To backup up Oracle Database with EMC Networker software you have to download and install following package:
-Download nmda12_linux_x86_64.tar.gz presuming that you have 64bit Linux OS.
-untar it

When you do this, you will now have following files

 # ls
32-bit
LGTO_METAFILE_linux86w_nmda.mf

lgtonmda-1.2.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm 
sd_products.res
nmda12_linux_x86_64.tar.gz

Install lgtonmda-1.2.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm 
#rpm -ivh lgtonmda-1.2.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm 


No additional services will be installed on system.

Your backup and database administrator should confirm that backup of Oracle database are going OK or not going OK.
 


iLo2 deafult password on HP C7000 blade chassis

In case that you are searching for default iLo password on your HP C7000 blade chassis....

... it is located on iLo module so to get the password you have to get iLo module out. When you do this, all lights will go red, don't worry this is OK. Flip module around and you will see DNS name,user name and default password. Put iLo module back in chassis, lights will go green again and you now can approach blade chassis through iLo.
Why I am writing this? Because before on c7000 chassis this iLo default password was on outside of chassis so you did not have to anything will iLo module.

I hope this will save you some time.
