I don't know what version stack (aix/tdp/tsm/oracle) would work.   I do
know that the last BA client that was supported on AIX 4.3 was v5.1.6.  We
actually have a couple of AIX 4.3 systems with old Oracle databases that
we backup.  We perform Oracle hot backups to local disk then let the BA
client backup the hot backup files.  I think you could do this with RMAN
backup to local disk (or nfs mount) and let the BA client backup the
files.

Oracle question

Hi.............

We have an IBM AIX Oracle DB server (IBM 7026-H80) that is using AIX
V4.3.3.11, Oracle V8.1.7.4 using BMC backup/recovery software.  Our TSM
system is AIX V5.3.12.2 (IBM 9133-52A) using TSM V5.5.2.0.  My boss wants
to stop using BMC software and use TDP for Oracle.  Can anybody answer
these questions:

1) What version of TDP for Oracle must we use on the AIX Oracle DB server
so we can correctly back/recover the Oracle DB V8.1.7.4??
2) Since the TDP for Oracle would be such an old version (we think based
upon AIX version support stop date of 31 Dec 2003), how do we receive the
correct TDP software version w/proper TDP license.
3) We have asked a bunch of IBM VARs for input/answers and help except a
good luck on this opportunity response.
4) What an DR opportunity if it happens!!

Any suggestions/thoughts from the group??
