Jason, It goes as follows. When initiating a TDP backup, the tdpo.opt file is referenced. That calls the dsm.opt which in turn calls the dsm.sys.
The tdpo.opt and the dsm.opt should be in /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64. (just bin if you're not running 64 bit) The dsm.sys has to be in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64 directory. In this directory Break the symlink to /usr/bin. Comment out the Inclexcl statement. Change password access from generate to prompt. I also strongly recommend creating a seperate domain for your database backups as does the manual. Set the management class to 1-0-0-0. You can also set it as the default management class. You should also consider changing the filespace name to something other than adsmorc. In the event that you have multiple oracle instances on the same client, it is much more managable when they each have a unique name. e.g If the database gets "put to rest", you can simply delete the filespace for that database. Not so easy if you have 3 or 4 databases all writing to filespace adsmorc. (you set the filespace name in the tdpo.opt file). You will need to create a unique tdpo.opt file for each database. Regarding your question, when is the data going to expire. The answer is NEVER until you run a deletion script.

TSM is on Solaris 8. When starting a TDPO channel, the tdpo.conf is referenced. Within tdpo.conf, a dsm.opt is referenced. In documentation, filespace /adsmorc must be bound to correct management class in the dsm.sys file or else the backups will be attached to the policy's default management class. Does anyone know where this dsm.sys should be ? Should it be in the same directory as dsm.opt ? Should it be in the API directory ? TDPO directory ? BA directory ? Our backups are never expiring off of the TSM server, the /adsmorc filespace keeps getting bigger and it should not. Does anyone know how to find out which mgmt class TDPO backups are bound to ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
