Dear Mehdi, apart from Grigoris arguements, I would add: - no additional repository is needed for backups and images - very easily standartized using TSM (e.g. clopts) - near automatic recovery using predefined Answer-files - no additional load on the system - no additional admin tasks involved

Hi, ...bell rings, yes. The certain case is, when the databaseID has changed in the RMAN. When and why that happens you should ask your local DBA. All files that have been created with the old DB-ID are not referenced any more from RMAN and therefore are not deleted by RMAN. By the way, it

Hi, just for Info... The DB-ID does NOT change, if you do an unregister/register DB in the RMAN. In that case RMAN remembers the ID and you are save. The DB-ID changes, if you do a delete/register in the RMAN and then you have the mess. Regards Chris Karl Christian Karl Abteilung

You can run crosscheck command in RMAN prompt and see whether all the old objects are able to identified or not. If not reported in report obsolete after running crosscheck then create the new node and retain the old node until it meets retention and remove the old node from TSM server. Also

Active logs taking 4 days to delete in 6.2

So, at one of my client sites I noticed that the Active log filesystem is sitting at 82% full. This is not normal for this TSM server. Looking in the filesystem I saw active logs going back four days. Checking the actlog shows that TSM db backups are still running properly every day, but just

Yeah, I am. The thing that's wierd is the 4 day delay. Active logs are getting deleted, but they're waiting 4 days to do so. And this is not how the behavior has always been since going to 6.2. I just noticed the change one day. Very bizarre... On Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 6:59 AM, Zoltan
