No, only from client. Can be run from cron or whatever. Well, actually if you want you can run from server. Just setup a schedule that has ACTION of CMD and use the script that does the deletes as the command. You could even pass parameters to it if you want. (These commands don't have to actually backup/archive something, they can do other things.)
David Longo >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/12/02 10:20AM >>> Thanks for explanation.... So the Oracle DBA has to run RMAN to delete the files older than 30 days as required? Or can it be ran from TSM Server? Justin David Longo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@VM.MARIST.EDU> on 09/12/2002 10:02:32 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Re: Question on mgmt for TDP for ORACLE running RMAN You have set it up correctly. TDPO doesn't actually use TSM versioning to delete old backups. That is done with RMAN scripts on the client where Oracle resides. Look at your RMAN documentation. There should be a sample script installed also. Basically you set up the script to delete data older than x number of days. Deletes this data from RMAN catalog and TSM server. David Longo >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/12/02 09:39AM >>> Ha! one more question or verification for default mgmt for TDP for ORACLE running RMAN I have it set up as listed below that since ORACLE TDP uses unique name convention does this retention keep one copy of the data or should I update the Retain Extra Versions to 30 to keep a copy for 30 days then does TSM delete the 31st copy on day 31 ? Policy Policy Mgmt Copy Versions Versions Retain Retain Domain Set Name Class Group Data Data Extra Only Name Name Name Exists Deleted Versions Version --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- -------- -------- ------- ORACLE_D- ACTIVE ORACLE_MG STANDARD 1 0 0 0 OM The admin guide has the setting I have currently listed above but the Oracle DBA's want to be able to restore back 30 days.
