To all:
Environment: AIX 4.3.3
TSM server 3.7.3
Oracle TDP 3.7.1
Oracle 8.1.5/6
TSM client V3.7.2 on AIX 4.3.3
We've been trying to get some historical data (if any is available) for the
impact an Oracle repository will have on TSM if the repository will reside
ON the TSM server. One of our DBAs is telling us that RMAN requires a
central repository (which is comprised of 36 GBs of disk housing Oracle
binaries, oraarch, oradata, and DBA home directories) that should reside on
our AIX TSM server.
We have numerous issues (all of which we have voiced loudly) with this piece
of Oracle residing on our TSM server, but in absence of hard data stating
that this move is a disaster waiting to happen, we're powerless to stop its
going forward. The edict from management is: let the Oracle people have
their way.
Is anyone out there using the Oracle TDP with AIX (or other platforms) going
to an AIX TSM server where this RMAN repository physically resides on the
TSM server itself? Would you be willing to share your experiences, good or
bad, with us, to help us make a case for keeping this repository from
residing on the TSM server? Gut feeling and experience with the TSM
environment are not enough on which to base a final decision.
Thanks much!
