You do not need two separate dsm.sys files. Just make two stanzas in
dsm.sys and address them in two seprate dsm.opt files. Example:

dsm.sys:
"servername os_backup
        nodename        <OS node>
        passwordaccess  generate
        ...

servername tdpo
        nodename        <TDP node>
        passwordaccess  prompt"

dsm1.opt:
servername os_backup

dsm2.opt:
servername tdpo


That's all.

Thank you.

That's kinda what I figured since it choked on everything else I tried to
put in there. An almost empty file.

Now, how do I get the TDP to use a different DSM.SYS file so I can use
PASSWORDACCESS PROMPT for the TDP backups and PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE for
the system-wide, non-Oracle backups ?

Based on this example, can you tell me what is on your ORACLE.OPT.

here's our rman_cntl.rcv, which you'd run from the RMAN> prompt:
oracle on unixtest04 in /ops/dba/scripts> cat rman_cntl.rcv

connect rcvcat rman92/rman92@rm9i
run
 {allocate channel 'T1' type 'SBT_TAPE'

    backup

HI *SMers,

I am trying to setup oracle backup and I am new to RMAN.
Would someone willing to share sample tdpo.opt and RMAN backup script for
my
reference?

Thanks in advance
