Could be real easy. If the filespace (instance) on TSM was not changed AND a NEW filespace (instance was created on TDFP Oracle setup on client for new DB instance, then it is simple. Do a DELETE FILESPACE for the old filespace on the server.
EX: NODE: ORASERVER OLD instance/filesapce: /ora1fs NEW instancefilespace: /ora2fs Then delete filespace /ora1fs. If the TDP Oracle wasn't changed and the new data is stored on TSM server under old filespace name, then if you have TDP Oracle version 2.2 or later, read manual for the utiility TDPOSYNC. THis will compare what's on TSM server to whats's in RMAN catalog. Then gives you a "pick window" like restores to allow you to select items for deletion that are on TSM server but not in the RMAN catalog. David B.

A couple of weeks ago the DBA decided to rebuild the production database that has been backed up. They proceeded to build this new instance as a different name and once set up, export and import the data into this new database. When they finished, they renamed the instance to reflect to correct name. To get the RMAN backup to work, they unregistered the old instance and reregistered the new instance ID. The problem is that they didn't clean up all the old backups prior to unregistering the old instance. How can I manually remove the old backups from TSM since it seems that RMAN doesn't know about them anymore?
