Appendix F. TDP for <strong>Oracle</strong> using TSM LAN-free setup<br />

In this appendix we show how we configured TDP for <strong>Oracle</strong> to send backups<br />

via the Storage Area Network (SAN).<br />

These are the assumptions we used:<br />

The TSM server is already configured: For example, libraries, drives,<br />

devclasses, stgpools, and server-to-server have all been defined.<br />

The TSM client has Fibre Channel card installed, SAN zoning is set<br />

(if required), the client can “see” the tape drives via the oper<strong>at</strong>ing system,<br />

and can perform regular LAN backups.<br />

For inform<strong>at</strong>ion on how to get to the point where the tape drives are visible<br />

and the TSM server is configured, see the redbook Using Tivoli Storage<br />

Manager in a SAN environment, SG24-6132-00. This book also discusses the<br />

reasons for using a SAN to perform backups and the benefits to be gained.<br />

F.1 TSM configur<strong>at</strong>ion for LAN-free setup<br />

Support for the LAN-free setup is wholly contained within the TSM API. No<br />

additional code is needed in any of the products (DB2, TDP for <strong>Oracle</strong>)<br />

except to use the TSM API. The TSM Storage Agent software must be<br />

installed on the same machine as the product performing the LAN-free<br />

backup.<br />

These are the steps necessary:<br />

1. Define new management class for LAN-free backups.<br />

2. Download and install storage agent.<br />

3. Modify dsmsta.opt.<br />

4. Check adsmscsi.<br />

5. Define drive mappings.<br />

6. Define server for storage agent on TSM server.<br />

7. Run dsmsta setstorageserver on storage agent.<br />

8. Install storage agent as service.<br />

9. Specify enablelanfree in client options file (dsm.opt).<br />
