We currently use Omniback to backup our SAP environment.  The
environment consists of Oracle, HPUX servers and EMC DMX/SYMM disk
systems.

The smaller test/development SAP instances are standard lan based backups,
both hot and cold.

The large production systems use split-mirror backups.  We SRDF the data
to a 2nd site (dr copy), where we backup off of a BCV.  In EMC terms, this
looks
like:  R1 -> srdf -> R2/BCV, with backups taken from the BCV at the 2nd
site.

I have been asked (quickly!!!!) to determine what it would require to
switch to TSM.

I know about TSM for ERP/SAP/Oracle.  It references TSM for Hardware for
split-mirror with IBM
disk subsystems.  Together this  looks similar to the integration we use
with
Omniback.   What I DON'T find is any split-mirror support for EMC, and I
know
this isn't supported.

Question:  Is it possible to use TSM for ERP/SAP/Oracle with split-mirror
backups
with EMC disk systems if we code scripts to perform the
split/import/mount/deport/re-sync
stuff ourselves?  In other words, does TSM for ERP provide hooks for our
own scripts
to support split-mirror with non-IBM disk systems?

Thanks

Rick
