Hi, I am using TDP for SAP R/3 V3.2.0.8 and I would appreciate your help in accomplishing the following: -2 copies of the REDO logs, each copy is to go to a different TSM server (different sites) server (different sites) -I would like to switch between the TSM servers on a daily base so that the on/offline backup on day 1 goes to site A's server and on day 2 the on/offline backup on day 1 goes to site A's server and on day 2 goes to site B (this is easy in the utl except for the fact that 2 days in a week it will go to the same site) -If one TSM server isn't available I would like both redolog copies to the other server and also the on/offline to the other server the other server and also the on/offline to the other server All of this to: -Avoid having to do offsiting through tape to tape copy every day of ~10TB of SAP data ~10TB of SAP data -To get highly available data as a restore with the new setup should in worst case involve going back 3 days + redo logs if I have a site worst case involve going back 3 days + redo logs if I have a site failure (or a TSM server down). (Tape to tape copy doesn't solve this as it takes ages to do ~10TB a day). My problem is the setup within one utl file to accomplish both the switch and the 2 copies of the REDO LOGS. It looks like it is easy for 1 tape drive used for on/off but it seems that I need to have 3 redolog copies if I would like to use 2 tape drives for the on/offline backups. (And 4 if using 3 drives). This is a lot of copies to store... Does anyone of you have a more simpler setup that can do the same trick? HACMP for TSM will take care of the unavailable TSM server but I will still need to switch to be able to store the data in two different libraries/sites. Our SAP gurus prefer to use only one utl file...
