While I don't run multiple TDP-R3's. I thought I might make some
observations:
You are running the TDP-R3 backups from crontab you say, so there are three
crontab entries, one for each ora<sid> that look like "brbackup -<some
parameters>" or at least call a script which executes brbackup. The current
directory is ora<sid>'s home directory unless changed by a script that calls
brbackup. You should be looking there for ds*error.log. Note that backint
uses the TSM API, thus expect dsierror.log not dsmerror.log. Also check
dsm.sys and dsm.opt in /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin although they may link
to ../../ba/bin/. I am not sure why you code domain statements for your sap
log and data filesystems. This suggests you are taking duplicate (I might
note unusable) backups of log and data files in your incremental backups,
unless you exclude them, thus meaning you are just backing up the directory
structure in the log and data filesets.
I experienced problems with the TDP-R3 full offline backup at the 3.2.0.3
level that were all traced back to TDP-R3's use of memory. Try a newer
version. The only version I have successfully used in production is
3.2.0.4. I've tried 3.2.0.5 but I have problems at that level. I hear
3.2.0.6 is out but I have yet to try it.
You must have a LOT of tape drives to run 3 TDP-R3 at the same time. Try
summing the SESSIONS parameter in each $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<SID>.utl file.
If that sum exceeds the number of tape drives you have on TSM server, expect
problems such as you are experiencing. The solution is to run TDP-R3
serially.
