TDPO notes

Something to digest.. hopefully it helps


TDPO--> TIVOLI DATA PROTECTION FOR ORACLE

  • Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) is the main software.
  • Data Protection (There are multiple for different dbs' Oracle, SQL Server etc) is specifically for backing up and restoring the databases.
  • You can't install TDP without TSM installed first, TDPO is a component of TSM
  • TDPO provides an interface between RMAN API & TSM API
  • With TDPO, RMAN controls how the backups are stored, maintained on storage(TSM)
  • WITH TDPO, DBA doesn't need to know the commands used by TSM to backup, maintain files on tape(storage)
  • RMAN controls removal of expired backups (TSM policy doesn't govern rman backups)
  • Oracle backups (oracle objects) are considered active from TSM perspective
