I can answer the part about management class:

P. 10 of the ADSMConnect Agent for Oracle Backup Installation & Use
Guide says that the default management class is used for the data base
backups unless you override the management class using an
include/exclude  file.

The file name of the include-exclude  file goes in the directory where
you installed the ADSM Connect Agent.
On our system that means:

/usr/lpp/adsmagent/aob/dsm.sys looks like this:

        SErvername              ADPADSM
        COMMmethod                      TCPip
        TCPPort                         1500
        TCPServeraddress        OURADSM
        INCLEXCL                /usr/lpp/adsmagent/aob/inclexcl.lst
        NODENAME                AIXONE-EBU

/usr/lpp/adsmagent/aob/inclexcl.lst contains this:

        include * MGTC_APICLIENT_EBU



mgtc-apiclinet-ebu is a management class defined with VERDELETED=0 and
RETONLY=0

If you are ALSO running the ADSM backup/archive client on the same AIX
host, I found it made much more sense to use a DIFFERENT node name for
the backup/archive client and the EBU/connect agent.  For example, if my
machine is called AIXONE, backup/archive client's dsm.sys is in the
usual place, and the backup client NODENAME is AIXONE.  My EBU/connect
agent's NODENAME is AIXONE-EBU.  It's dsm.sys file is in
/usr/lpp/adsmagent/aob/ and contains the pointer to its include/exclude
list.

Hope this helps.

        Subject:        ADSM Connect and Oracle EBU

        Has anyone had any experience restoring files backed up to ADSM
using
        ADSM Connect Agent 2.1.6 on AIX from Oracle EBU on a Version 7
        parallel edition?  Specifically, we are receiving an EBU-7000:
Sbtopen:
        Backup file not found on mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss [ 26002 : tape_open
].  It
        appears to have restored a few files before giving us this
message.

        On a side note, anyone know how this wonderful tandem of
products
        "automatically" backs up to tape?  How do you specify the
management
        class used.
