We have a Unix Oracle Servers running multiple instances of Oracle.  We 
understand from the 5.2 Oracle TDP Manual its preferred to have the RMAN 
backups going to its own policy with its own default mgmt class and creating a 
node name to associate those backup objects to.  We've done all that, works 
great.  

The manual also mentions that if you have to share an existing Policy for the 
RMAN backups you have to use an Inclu/Exclu statement to point to that 
management class.  Is it possible to use the same cfg to tell one TDP RMAN 
Backup to use a mgmt class to go to tape and one mgmt class to disk?

I've searched through the ADSM.org and didn't find anything on this idea.

Any thoughts would be great!

Manual Excerpt:
Management class
Tivoli Storage Manager uses management classes to manage backups on
the Tivoli Storage Manager Server. When you back up a database, the
default management class for your node is used. Because the policy
requirements for Data Protection for Oracle may be different from the
desired settings for the regular Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive
clients, you must have a different management class defined for Data
Protection for Oracle. It is recommended that you define a separate policy
domain where the default management class has the required settings and
then register all Data Protection for Oracle nodes to that domain.

If you choose to define a new management class within an existing policy
domain (not the default management class for that domain), then you must
add an include statement to the Data Protection for Oracle options file to
bind all objects to that management class.

The following steps assign a management class name orcbackup to all
Oracle backups with a default file space name adsmorc:
1. Add this inclexcl entry under the server stanza you use in the dsm.sys
file:
inclexcl /u01/oracle/include.def
2. Add this include entry to the /u01/oracle/include.def file:
include /adsmorc/.../* orcbackup
Note: The file space name in the include/exclude statement must
match the file space name defined with the tdpo_fs option. If a
file space name other than the default value (adsmorc) is used:
a. You must specify the file space name with the tdpo_fs option.
b. You must specify the file space name defined in the tdpo_fs
option in the include/exclude statement.

Chapter 3. Configuring Data Protection for Oracle 31
All the files backed up with a default file space name of adsmorc are
assigned to management class orcbackup.
Note: Data Protection for Oracle stores all objects as backup objects on Tivoli
Storage Manager storage, so an archive copy group is not required, although
it can exist.

See your Tivoli Storage Manager administrator or see Tivoli Storage Manager
Administrator's Guide for more information on defining or updating Tivoli 
Storage
Manager policy domains and copy groups.
