RMAN on ORA-01403

Hi guys and girls, haven't been here for a while and it's nice to be back. I need help from one of the Oracle-Gurus on this list. One of my customers moved some of his Oracle datafiles to another filesystem. Unfortunately, he/she did so without telling RMAN. So even though the Redbook says RMAN

dsmcad running scheduler

Hi folks, I am sure this question has been asked before. One of our customers is running dsmcad (Client ver 5.1.1.0) in webclient schedule mode. Last night the schedules got missed. After I checked the log files this morning, I realized dsmcad set with a HTTPClientport 1582 claims to have shifted

Re: AIX Question

Hi there, I guess you already got the right answer from Rene. Just add another entry to dsm.sys with tcpserveraddress pointing to the ip address of the GB card. The scheduler will be started with the default entry and handle connections through the 10/100MBit network while you will need to start

Two questions regarding NDMP backups

Hi guys and girls, I have just been busy implementing NDMP for a NetApp filer under TSM 5.2.0.2 last week. The Module runs just fine including file level restore capabilities. However, two questions popped up in my mind that do not get answered in the relevant redbooks so maybe you on the list

Re: AIX Question

Hi, this is actually a good and valid question. Since I am a strong believer of KISS I actually do not see any obvious reason for separating the traffic even though TSM makes it possible to do so. The only reason I would figure is that the traffic should flow via two separate subnets with

Re: Upgrading HSM and AIX at the same time?

Hi doing the upgrade the usual way employing an AIX migration installation would preserve all filesystems in the rootvg except /tmp. Only the the filesets delivered with AIX will be upgraded but not the ADSM/TSM/HSM client filesets. After you have done the AIX upgrade just upgrade the TSM client.

Schedule twice weekly

H, good point. Will TSM not complain when it comes across the first volume? I am sure it will, so what will TSM do after: just skip the unavailable volume and continue or wait for a timeout period to make the volume available and then die? Thanks a lot Lars On 06.12.2002 14:41:48
