Thanks for the info.  We didn't change filespaces, but TDPOSYNC is
working.

Thanks
Mark

Could be real easy.  If the filespace (instance) on TSM was not changed 
AND a NEW filespace (instance was created on TDFP Oracle setup on
client for new DB instance, then it is simple.  Do a DELETE FILESPACE 
for the old filespace on the server.

EX:
NODE:  ORASERVER
OLD instance/filesapce: /ora1fs
NEW instancefilespace: /ora2fs

Then delete filespace /ora1fs.  If the TDP Oracle wasn't changed and
the new data is stored on TSM server under old filespace name, then
if you have TDP Oracle version 2.2 or later, read manual for the
utiility
TDPOSYNC.  THis will compare what's on TSM server to whats's in 
RMAN catalog.  Then gives you a "pick window" like restores
to allow you to select items for deletion that are on TSM server
but not in the RMAN catalog.

We have been backing up an oracle database with RMAN successfully for a
few months now.  A couple of weeks ago the DBA decided to rebuild the
production database that has been backed up.  They proceeded to build
this new instance as a different name and once set up, export and import
the data into this new database.  When they finished, they renamed the
instance to reflect to correct name.  To get the RMAN backup to work,
they unregistered the old instance and reregistered the new instance ID.
The problem is that they didn't clean up all the old backups prior to
unregistering the old instance.  How can I manually remove the old
backups from TSM since it seems that RMAN doesn't know about them
anymore?

 

 

Thanks

Mark
