If the node is already defined, the <strong>Up</strong>d<strong>at</strong>e Node command can be used to<br />

move the node to this new domain. This method allows the default<br />

management class to be utilized for the <strong>Oracle</strong> backups. There is no concern<br />

over an include st<strong>at</strong>ement not being recognized during the backup process.<br />

4.7.2 TSM management class consider<strong>at</strong>ions<br />

This section describes how the management class and its associ<strong>at</strong>ed<br />

copygroups should be configured.<br />

4.7.2.1 Backup copy group consider<strong>at</strong>ions.<br />

Normally TSM backup copy groups are designed to hold multiple versions of<br />

files and directories in order to restore not only the l<strong>at</strong>est (active) but also<br />

older versions th<strong>at</strong> had been changed or deleted (inactive).<br />

TDP for <strong>Oracle</strong> will send backups through the TSM client API directly to the<br />

backup copy group of the default management class to which the node is<br />

assigned. <strong>Oracle</strong> assigns unique names to every d<strong>at</strong>abase backup. The<br />

settings th<strong>at</strong> pertain to multiple versions do not apply.<br />

The following retention settings should be used for the management class<br />

th<strong>at</strong> will be bound to the <strong>Oracle</strong> backups.<br />

VEREXISTS=1<br />

Keeps only one version of the backup file as the name of the backup is<br />

unique. (There will not be a newer version of the backup image with the<br />

same name).<br />

VERDELETED=0<br />

If the backup file has been deleted then TSM should not keep an inactive<br />

version of this file.<br />

RETEXTRA=0 (the same value as RETONLY)<br />

This parameter will never be used as you will never have more than one<br />

version of the backup file. To prevent confusion set this parameter to the<br />

same value as RETONLY.<br />

RETONLY=0<br />

When a backup image file becomes inactive it will be purged from the TSM<br />

server <strong>at</strong> the next expir<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />

4.7.2.2 Archive copy group consider<strong>at</strong>ions<br />

Archive copy groups are designed to hold archive objects for a dedic<strong>at</strong>ed time<br />

and than to autom<strong>at</strong>ically delete the object.<br />
