Re: LTO drive replacement when using switch zoning

2009-08-28 Thread Gill, Geoffrey L.
I wanted to follow up on this thread since 'finally' the drive was replaced, for the 3rd time, and is showing online. I went over the problem with the IBM folks who used to manage things, at least they were nice enough to help me out so I could basically look at things myself and relay my thoughts

Correction, it's "marked for expiration" and it is still recoverable, until the "Expire" process runs and removes it from the Database. I know this from experience, as we disable our expiration process for a few days due to a server failure, and once due to a legal request. The Expire Process act

We backup lots of db's without RMAN. Here are some of the ways: 1) Run an export to disk, then have the ba client backup the export file. 2) Run a Oracle Hot backup, where you backup the live files while the db is in hot backup mode. The procedure for a Hot backup is in the Oracle manuals. 3) S

Hmm.. seems like I'm not explaining the my whole story here. The purpose for this tinkering of admin schedules is to be as efficient as possible so I'm examining the repercussions of adjusting the expiration schedule. We do in fact have a larger SATA pool we use for storing about a week's wor

Depending on your database requirements and availability, you can also shut down the database and backup the flat files ( not an export ) using the backup client. We do this if we want to move a database to another server relatively quickly . This method only works if your Oracle is using flat

Can we use TSM for oracle database backup without using RMAN

As mentionned, depending on Oracle, you could just export or dump to flat files and backup from there...so you wouldn't need TDP for Oracle... You'd have to be careful though. You would want to do your dump using an integrity check so that if any transaction are running while dumping, you are

Agreed. "expire inventory" is actually something of a misnomer. If you have your retention set to 14 versions, and someone takes the 15th backup, the oldest version expires right then, you can't get it back. That type of "expiration" takes place, no matter whether EXPIRE INVENTORY runs or not. T
