Rick,
How many channels do the DBA have set in RMAN to use for the backups. Also how
many max sessions are set up on the server node and resourceutilization in the
dsm.sys file on the client

Subject: [ADSM-L] TDP Oracle issue: thousands of near simultaneous sessions per
node
Looking for some direction...
I recently inherited a TSM server along with many TDP for Oracle nodes.
The TSM server is 5.4 (upgrade on the horizon).
The Oracle clients run on mostly AIX, but some Suse Linux, the TDP client is
ver.5.5.x and the BA clients are primarily 6.2.
All of the database and log backups are initiated by CRON and when they start a
single Oracle node will start and stop literally thousands of sessions on the
TSM server within a minute or two.
Oracle and RMAN are new to me and I have talked with our DBA team regarding the
problem but to no surprise they imply it is a TSM issue.
When this occurs the obvious impact to the TSM server is devastating,
performance is crushed and the console churn is a blur.
In reading the Oracle and TDP documentation I am suspicious of the RMAN scripts
as the cause, but before I go testing changes or opening a support case, I
thought I would ask the group.
The RMAN scripts do perform several "crosschecks" during the process and I
suspect that each backup piece it queries for starts and stops a client session
on the TSM server.
Has anyone seen this issue before? Is there any way to get the TDP client to
perform all operations during a single, or minimal, sessions?
I have included the RMAN script I suspect below.....
All feedback welcome,
~Rick
