We have a Unix Oracle Servers running multiple instances of Oracle. We understand from the 5.2 Oracle TDP Manual its preferred to have the RMAN backups going to its own policy with its own default mgmt class and creating a node name to associate those backup objects to. We've done all that, works great.
The manual also mentions that if you have to share an existing Policy for the RMAN backups you have to use an Inclu/Exclu statement to point to that management class. Is it possible to use the same cfg to tell one TDP RMAN Backup to use a mgmt class to go to tape and one mgmt class to disk? I've searched through the ADSM.org and didn't find anything on this idea. Any thoughts would be great! Regards, Charles Manual Excerpt: Management class Tivoli Storage Manager uses management classes to manage backups on the Tivoli Storage Manager Server. When you back up a database, the default management class for your node is used. Because the policy requirements for Data Protection for Oracle may be different from the desired settings for the regular Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive clients, you must have a different management class defined for Data Protection for Oracle. It is recommended that you define a separate policy domain where the default management class has the required settings and then register all Data Protection for Oracle nodes to that domain. If you choose to define a new management class within an existing policy domain (not the default management class for that domain), then you must add an include statement to the Data Protection for Oracle options file to bind all objects to that management class. The following steps assign a management class name orcbackup to all Oracle backups with a default file space name adsmorc: 1. Add this inclexcl entry under the server stanza you use in the dsm.sys file: inclexcl /u01/oracle/include.def 2. Add this include entry to the /u01/oracle/include.def file: include /adsmorc/.../* orcbackup Note: The file space name in the include/exclude statement must match the file space name defined with the tdpo_fs option. If a file space name other than the default value (adsmorc) is used: a. You must specify the file space name with the tdpo_fs option. b. You must specify the file space name defined in the tdpo_fs option in the include/exclude statement. Chapter 3. Configuring Data Protection for Oracle 31 All the files backed up with a default file space name of adsmorc are assigned to management class orcbackup. Note: Data Protection for Oracle stores all objects as backup objects on Tivoli Storage Manager storage, so an archive copy group is not required, although it can exist. See your Tivoli Storage Manager administrator or see Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator's Guide for more information on defining or updating Tivoli Storage Manager policy domains and copy groups.
