Step 6 Sftp the "id_rsa" and "id_rsa.pub" files generated in Step 1 to remote SFTP server /opt/orahome/.ssh
directory. Make the file owned by "oracle:orainst" owner and group.
Step 7 Test SSH and SFTP from both the primary and secondary EMSs to the remote SFTP server:
a. From BTS primary EMS:
# su - oracle
$ sftp_ping oracle SFTPserverName
Connecting to SFTPserverName...
sftp> quit
SFTP_PING=OK
Note At the first login, the following message may display:"Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key
for IP address '10.xx.xxx.xxx' to the list of known hosts."
Step 8 To schedule the ora_sftp_backup.ksh process to execute at 5:30am every day in oracle crontab on both
the primary and secondary EMS:
a. Log in as oracle, or su - oracle and enter the following:
crontab -e
b. Add the following line to the Oracle crontab on the primary EMS:
#
# SFTP backup files from primary (optical1) to /opt/backup directory of SFTPserver.
#
0 6 * * * /opt/oracle/admin/scripts/ora_sftp_backup.ksh optical1 oracle SFTPserver
/opt/backup > /opt/oracle/tmp/ora_sftp_backup.log 2>&1
Note Enter 0 6 *** /opt/oracle/admin/scripts/ora_sftp_backup.ksh…ora_sftp_backup.log 2>&1 in the same
line.
Step 9 Replace SFTPserver with the correct host name of the remote SFTP server.
