Ian,
You need TDP installed on all target nodes, however you don't need TDP
installed on the node where the catalog resided. Also, you need only one
tdpo.opt per node, but don't need one for the catalog ('cos TDP will not be
installed there).
We have always used the default of "adsmorc" for TDPO_FS.
You can run RMAN from the target servers, I guess this is the usual approach
for most folks. However, you can also run RMAN from a central server (so all
backups are scheduled centrally) and connect to all targets over the wire
via TNS.

I'm trying to use RMAN and TSM to backup multiple databases spread across
various nodes with some nodes hosting more than one database. The RMAN
catalog database will reside on a node different from any of the nodes
hosting the other databases. I have long used ADSM without the RMAN
clothing to backup the databases. I have convinced the SA's to move on to
TSM, and now I need to add the RMAN adornments.
I assume I need the SA's to install TDP for Oracle on all the nodes
requiring RMAN backup. Do I also need to install it on the machine which
will host the catalog database. That database will undergo cold backup
using "naked" TSM. The same question applies to the tdpo.opt file. Do I
need multiple TDPO_FS values and multiple tdpo.opt files to hold them.
I am also assuming I will start RMAN from one of the databases requiring
backup and connect also to the RMAN catalog. Is this typical.
