David,
Thanks for your insight. So, I would just treat as a client and choose
the files that I'd want to backup on daily base. Then, schedule it,
right? If wrong, please correct me. I checked our current backup files
on mainframe. They are just like financial aids, all lib users, business
transaction stuff, etc. They are being written directly on tapes when
backup jobs run every night. I don't know if I can 'tell' TSM to do the
same way. Should I decide which will go to disk storage and which goes
to tape storage?
As we run mainframe, we also back up DB databases files, too. When
running Oracle, having users' daily transactions and databases and
associated files, how do I back them up? When installed TDP for Oracle,
all backups events will be done from Oracle servers? I know my questions
might make you, and you all, laugh. If so, please forgive me..
Our vendor said that TSM is installed in a standby server. Does that
mean we don't have even a dedicated one? It doesn't sound right to me.
Any potential problems with that setup? They will bring the new AIX +
Oracle system soon in our place. The vendor is bringing SAN with new
systems.
We currently are running ADSM 3.7 to backup all network servers and
workstations on campus. It's not working very efficiently...
Any comment will help me tremendously, Thanks you and you all.

A quick Friday afternoon answer:
Yes, AIX is a client just like any other platform. (You need to have
an
AIX mksysb tape made though to do restore from totally crashed
system).
You say "make backups of regular production jobs", exactly what
do you mean by that? If you need to make backups of transaction
files or other special stuff, you have to look at it more closely.
Is just once a day enough or do certain files need backup at say
4 hour intervals.
I would say first approcach it not necessarily from TSM point, but
from the point of what do you need to backup and how often. And how
long do you need to keep the backups? Then see how to use
TSM to acomplish this. You might then have to do some tweaking.
Is this your first TSM system or have you been backing up some clients
with TSM for a while?
If you have Oracle on AIX, the regular Back/Archive client will not
backup Hot Oracle DB's. You need TDP for Oracle to interface between
TSM and Oracle's RMAN. (Or get SQL Backtrack from BMC is
another option.)

Hi, Everyone. Can anyone help me how to configue the AIX system in
order
to make backups of regular daily production jobs runnign on it? and
how
to prepare vault movement? Should I treat the AIX system as a clien
node? I just got off the classes and don't have any practical idea.
Please help!
We are migrating from mainframe; VSE to AIX with Oracle. New system
will be in soon and I need to start from scratch!! HELP!! Thansk
much.
