All,
On systems where we're running Oracle database instances, we generally have
four filesystems dedicated to Oracle named: /u01, /u02, /u03, & /u04.
Since these are used by a DBMS, we don't want to back them up with TSM using
normal filesystem backups as those backups would be useless.
(The databases are instead backed up via TDPO or RMAN.)
So, we want to exclude those four filesystems from TSM backups.
We should be able to put these entries in the include-exclude file (normally
configured as "/{usr|opt}/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/inclexcl")
to exclude those filesystems:
exclude.fs /u01
exclude.fs /u02
exclude.fs /u03
exclude.fs /u04
...but, I've found that for some reason those don't seem to work.
So, instead, I've tried these entries:
exclude.dir /u01
exclude.dir /u02
exclude.dir /u03
exclude.dir /u04
...which do seem to work.
Which is the correct syntax to exclude the filesystems?
Thanks,
Craig
