Oracle Suggested Backup, to tape only - Tivoli Storage Manager

I´ve been asked to cancel future backups to disk and to setup oracle´s suggested backup to the tape device only (which underwater is the tdpo from Tivoli´s storage manager).
This way the expensive disks can be freed from recovery data.
I´ve had my share of problems with the tdpo, but besides the problem of this gateway driver between RMAN and TSM I would like to know if this is best for the whole suggested backup strategy.
Somehow I´m not convinced in backing up to "tape" devices only; for it is slower than local disks, and because we had problems before with the driver, but there may be a lot more reasosn why I should or should not accept this desired goal to be best for our company.
I hope some of you can help me straighten my vision on this.

The biggest problems I think we might face are the
big question "who is responsible for what", and the
administration of non Oracle systems/methods to
perform backupsi have no problems with such a setup. i provide the rman skript which will be called by TSM.
the TSM admins notify me if the backup failed. retention on TSM side is disabled, only RMAN deletes obsolete/expired backups.
All I want to care about is performing a backup to
Disk, or Disk and Tape, or just Tape from within
Oracle/RMAN and read the ouput from here.
Now where these external tape labraries like TSM come
in there will be more administration for the total
handling of a backup job. It´s not only RMAN, but a
tdpo and a TSM server which need to be monitored
closely. of course TSM has to be monitored but if you already have invested an infrastructure you should use it for every type of backups.
Sadly Oracle has yet to come up with it´s secure
backup for TSM systems, but I think it would be best
if I could let Oracle solely in charge of its own
backups.if TSM retention is disabled, RMAN has absolute control.
Then again, I don´t know if anyone has good
experiences with TSM as the only backup provider for
Oracle backups. (so no disk backups)it works very good. use staged pools on TSM. primary pool should be diskpool, secondary a tapepool. you can configure TSM to move the data from disk to tape based on fill level or age.

Error using Oracle Suggested Backup

Hi, I am a first time DBA. A new 10g database has just been installed and I have just set up Oracle Suggested Backup in Enterprise Manager for the first time. The first run failed and this is the output log:
Any help or suggestion is sincerely appreciated.
Thanks.

RMAN integrated with Tivoli Storage Manager

Environment
===========
Two Node RAC Production DBs on 10.2.0.4
Platform : Solaris
RMAN is the only backup tool i've ever worked with. I've come across OTN articles which discuss TSM along with RMAN. Is there any advantage at all in using TSM with RMAN ? Or, Is it just marketing gimmick by IBM?

Our strategy:
1--Monday ------------------->Level 0 backup (1:00am)
2--Tuesday----->     Level1
3--Wednesday----->     Level1
4--Thursday------------------>Level 0 backup (1:00am)
5--Friday----->     Level1
6--Saturday----->     Level1
0--Sunday ----->     Level1Our RMAN backup pieces got to an NFS mount . Every monday morning the Level 0 backup is copied to Tape by Sysadmins and kept for 3 months. So, where does Tivoli storage manager come into picture ? Does TSM do copying the backup pieces from Disk to Tape part ?

XSAN and TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager)

Hello,
I wanted to know if anybody had already used the TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) solution from IBM to backup an XSAN?
From what I have read on the IBM tech guide, the solution is fully compatible.
Best regards,
Cédric

Hello Cedric.
I have used IBM TSM 5.2 with XSAN for a whole year without problems.
Our Xsan environment have 15 mixed INTEL&PPC Workstation, 2 Intel MDC, OSX-OSXSERVER 10.4.9, XSAN 1.4.1
We have a 3584 LTO library with 2 frames, 4 drives LTO2 and 2 LTO3. But we use only LTO3 with TSM from MAC. Our IBM TSM Server is a PSeries 630.
Now we are looking for a MAM system that can manage a proxy version of our archive. Parcial restores features could be very helpful for us.

Tape Drive and Library Compatibility Matrix - Oracle Secure Backup Express

Does Oracle Secure Backup Express support IBM System Storage TS3200 Tape Library with two Tape Drives?
Regards
Rado

That library is listed on the support matrix which applies to both OSB-XE and OSB:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/secure-backup/pdf/Tape_Devices10.2.pdf
Keep in mind that OSB-XE licensing restricts usage to one server direct attached to one tape drive. Per your post, your library has 2 tape drives which cannot be used with OSB-XE but certainly could with OSB.

Tivoli server manager is going to be changed for backp and restore

Hi
All,
I have oracle database 10g 10.2.0.3 installed on AIX 5.3 server. I am taking bakup and restore in TAPE using RMAN. I have IBM Tivoli Server Manager as a media Management Software. All resources are locatesd at inhouse right now. the only thing that gonna be change is IBM tivoli server manager and TAPE. we will have NEW Tivoli server manager and TAP at different location. Now I have backup and restore script available and TSM client installed on database server.
I have reviewed backup and restore script but I don't know what kind of change I have to do.
So the main question is
Due to Tivoli server and Tape gonna be change
what kind of changes I have to do ?
where should I implement the change?
where can I find the useful information regarding configuration parameter for this kind of setup?
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vishal

I don't know what version of TSM you are using, but you can check Backing Up Oracle Using Tivoli Storage Management and also check Configuring RMAN to Make Backups to a Media Manager.

Legato Storage Manager problem

Hi,
I do very well backup of a database on tapes using Legato Storage Manager and RMAN. I use 4 tapes on 40 G. Tha backup use 35G from each tape. In Legato Storage Manager at the Media, then Devices, then Media Type is selected dlt. I can select dlt or dlt7000 or other option.
I want to use few tapes so I want to do backup using tapes HP DLT 80G. The backup bahaves like in the previous case, after 35 G of backup requests a new tape even the tape has 80 G.
Do you know what I need to select at the option Media Type in Legato Storage Manager ? or how to do to use tapes of 80 G?
Thank you,
Mihaela

Stephen,
You have two options:
1) If Legato is not installed on you machine,
then Oracle installer install LSM - limited version of Legato Networker. It is limited to 4 channels, requires tape drive to be directly connected to your machine, does not support autochangers (jukeboxes), etc.
It is included in Oracle installation,
you don't need a separate license.
2) You can buy 2 products from Legato - Legato Networker and Legato Module for Oracle. Install Legato client first, then Oracle - Oracle installer detects that legato is already installed and does not attempt to install it again. Then link Oracle and Legato.
For pricing contact Legato www.legato.com

RMAN Backup to tape using Oracle Secure Backup

I am trying to take 11g R2 (11.2.0.3) database backup using RMAN. I am using Oracle Secure Backup for configuring virtual tape library and virtual tape drive.
Whenever, I am running the RMAN backup script it simply hangs. While checking the backup job status from Oracle Secure Backup web interface, the job status are displaying 'pending resource availability'.
On, furthur investigating the job, the following error message are displayed,
" Dispatching job to run on oradb. Drive or volume on which mount attempted is unusable".
Library and Tape Creation:
mkdev -t library -o -S 4 -a oradb:/vlib -v vlib
mkdev -t tape -o -a ora11:/vt -v -l vlib -d 1 vt
Not able to fix this error. Need help

There is a VTL: http://mhvtl-linux-virtual-tape-library-community-forums.966029.n3.nabble.com/
really work well with OSB 10.3.0.3 64bit, the version of it, fully tested by me , is 1.2
The installation guide of it here:
mh virtual tape & library system.
Instructions assume reader is familiar with the kernel build process.
There are two sections of code to build.
- The kernel module
- The user-space daemons.
Kernel module mhvtl:
==================
1) Make sure the kernel-devel package to match your running kernel is installed.
e.g.
RedHat AS 4 & 5:
# rpm -qa|grep kernel
kernel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL
kernel-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL
kernel-2.6.9-5.EL
kernel-devel-2.6.9-5.EL
kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.80
SLES 9 & 10:
# rpm -qa|grep kernel
2) Extract the mhvtl source code.
# tar xvfz mhvtl-2012-04-04.tgz
3) Change directory into the kernel driver source.
# cd mhvtl-1.2/kernel/
# make
# make install
User space daemons:
===================
Pre-req for a running mhvtl
- sg3_utils (http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg3_utils.html)
Pre-req to build/compile userspace:
- zlib-devel
* To build an RPM
===============
cp mhvtl-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz /usr/src/packages/SOURCE/
cd /usr/src/packages/SOURCE
rpmbuild -tb mhvtl-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz
<wait for rpm build to complete>
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/<cpu type>/mhvtl-1.2-z.<cpu type>.rpm
(The rpm install will create system group & accounts vtl)
- Note: For RedHat, replace 'packages' with 'redhat'
* To build from tar archive (Debian / Ubuntu):
============================================
apt-get install lsscsi
apt-get install sg3_utils
To limit damage that may occur by wayward daemons, I highly recommend creating
a group and user called 'vtl'
# /usr/sbin/groupadd --system vtl
# /usr/sbin/useradd --system -c "Vitrual Tape Library" -d /opt/vtl -g vtl -m vtl
Now build user space daemons:
From the parent directory where you extracted the source.
# cd mhvtl-1.2
Build the binaries
# make
Install the rc script into /etc/init.d/ and binaries to /usr/local/bin/
# make install
Start daemons:
/etc/init.d/mhvtl start
Test:
Note: Make sure the 'mtx' & 'lsscsi' utilities are installed
The virtual devices are attached to HBA #5 in this example.
e.g.
# lsscsi -g

Rman backup to tape (legato storage manager)

hi
currently i am try to use direct backup of my database to tape by rman.
but rman can't directly move oracle data into tape
it require 3rd party tool like
legato storage manager.
so my question is
1.how we can install LSM.
2.Is it avaliable on oracle rel 2 cd or not.
3.how we can config it.
4.any other tool is avaliable for this(for backup ->tape)

Oracle 10g new feature to backup to tape?

I heard rumours that Oracle 10g has new features to backup to tape directly. I don't know exactly how this is done, and I'd like the experts to comment. What I've discovered so far is that there is this program called Legato Single Server Version (LSSV) which ships with the Oracle 10g Companion CD which makes RMAN use the tape directly as a medium to backup. Is this CD available for download?

I am truly curious why you actively ask to avoid the "New Features Guide" which provides much of the information you desire.

Oracle Secure Backup 10.3.0.3.0 in Windows 2003 with IBM Tape Not Working

Hi,
I am currently implementing Oracle Secure Backup. My environment is this:
OS: Windows Server 2003 (32Bit) for all servers
Database: Oracle Database 11.2.0.1.0
Tape Library: IBM-ULT 3580-TD4
I will have to configure 2 machines to work with OSB: server01 and server02.
Server01:
This serves as the client, admin, mediaserver
Server02:
This will serve as the client, admin
When I log in to Server01, in the device manager, I can see the Tape Drives (no warnings, no questions marks) so I think it's good.
When I log in to Server02, in the device manager, there are no Tape Drives seen. Is is ok or shall i configure the IBM Tape drives to be also accessible since this is just the client, admin host?
Also I have noticed that when I installed the OSB in Server02 (client,admin), when I am on the SCSI Devices, i dont see any tape device (since its not in the device manager). Because of this i cannot start OSB Services and cannot add this host to the mediaserver.
Also, I am having issues Configuring the Library and the devices. I have read the official documentation completely but i think its very general and it does not present the detailed step-by-step process in installing and configuring OSB.
When I issued: lsdev -lvg in the mediaserver , I can read an error: Warning: bus info unknown or drive not installed.
Help is very much appreciated. Thanks a lot guys!

I have resolved the issue. Ill close this thread. :))

Hi,
Yeah.. we had TSM set up with TDPO installed. Four tape drives has been dedicated for this server. hence i am running it with four channels.
We are backing up directly to tapeThis is backup system info.
The storage would be like :
- SAN (?)
- SSD (?)
- Exadata cells (?)
- local disk (?)
- RAID (?)
- Volume manager (?)
- amount of spindles (?)
- etc

Snapshot rollup with Long term backup to Tape

I need to reconfigure the short term disk storage, and wanted to know if I create a Long Term backup to tape, does that
store or encompass all the "snapshot/short term" backups that I have on disk?
If so, I will be able to remove all my disk backups, reconfigure it as needed, and re-enable the short term backups without losing any of my historical backups. (For Legal reasons)
Thanks!

Hi,
No, Long term to tape are also "point in time" backups and if started now will only contain new recovery points. The ability to make backups of previous recovery points is not very easy, you basically need to restore a disk based RP to tape, unfortunately,
every restored recovery point to tape requires a separate tape.

Rman Backup in Tape - Restore

Hi All,
This's my scenario.
I am using oracle 10gR2 on solaris 10. I configured Rman for my database. I ran the backup command on monday and again tuesday and again today also.
All backups are stored in tape not disk. now I have a problem, so I want to restore the Monday backup from tape.
How to tell these to Rman. If I simply mentioned the restore command, hope Rman will restore the latest backup. But I want to restore the Monday Backup.
Could you anyone help me on this..
Many Thanks
Senthil

when ever you are recovering the database to certain time,certain scn then it is a incomplete recovery only.
after completing the recovery by specifying until time or until SCN oracle will not allow you to open the database.
It will ask you to open the database in resetlog mode.
The step which admin given is correct one but after that you have to open the db in resetlog mode
