Backing Up Oracle - Computing at Cornell

F.1.1 Define new management class for LAN-free backups
On the TSM server we already had a domain with a management class that
had the correct policy retention for Oracle backups. So instead of going
through the steps to define a new management class, we just copied an
existing one, and since it already had the correct retention settings, the only
thing we needed to do was to update the destination to be the SAN attached
storage pool. Currently, the LAN-free setup is only supported going to SAN
attached tape devices.
Here is the command we used to copy the management class:
tsm: BRAZIL>copy mgmtclass api_domain api_policy api_mgmtclass api_lanfree
ANR1523I Management class API_MGMTCLASS copied to class API_LANFREE in policy
domain API_DOMAIN, set API_POLICY.
We then need to update the backup copy group for this new api_lanfree
management class so the destination is the SAN attached tape storage pool:
tsm: BRAZIL>update copygroup api_domain api_policy api_lanfree dest=3570san
ANR1532I Backup copy group STANDARD updated in policy domain API_DOMAIN, set
API_POLICY, management class API_LANFREE.
The only thing left to do is activate the policy set so this new management
class can be used:
tsm: BRAZIL>activate policy api_domain api_policy
Do you wish to proceed? (Yes (Y)/No (N)) y
ANR1514I Policy set API_POLICY activated in policy domain API_DOMAIN.
Now we can check the backup copygroup for this new management class in
the active policy. We can see that the retention is correct. Versions exists is
set to one, the rest of the retention settings are set to zero. One of the most
important things is that the copy destination is to the SAN attached tape
storage.
