Hi guy's, A customer of ours is investigating cutting out the Oracle TDP for Oracle v9 and replacing it with rman backups to disk that get picked up by the TSM B/A client.
I am wondering if people here are doing this already. I'm no Oracle or rman man but I wonder if you can create a workable environment with scripting and procedures, I understand we need disk space for the 'dumps' to disk and some space to stage the restore from TSM before it goes back to Oracle. But how about archive log backups and how to go about telling rman a backup is back on another disk ready to restore to Oracle. Can you script the name of the backups with rman and is this usually done with the B/A archive function or the backup function. I can image that the Oracle naming might be an issue. If anybody here could give me some pointers that would be great, it's a fairly large Oracle environment with full backups of more than 40TB's and single database or multiple TB's. Regards, Stefan
