Good morning, A rather general question.
Is it possible to take the backup of only 1 instance with the TDP for Oracle (an instance that would be used for testing in TSM) and to take the backup of the other (production) instances to a local tape with an RMAN script? Both backups (TPD and local RMAN backup) do allocate 'sbt_tape' as channel. In other backup solutions, a symbolic link of the Oracle library $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.sl is created to the library of the backup solution. Which means that a backup to a local device using a RMAN script is no longer possible. I did not find out if this is the case too with the TDP for Oracle. Must all Oracle instances be restarted after the installation of the TDP or only the instance that you want to backup with the TDP or is there no restart at all. Thanks, Kurt Beyers
