Hi Suzy,
Currently we use ADSM for all our backup needs. I am aware of the ADSM OBSI
for SQLBackTrack. Not used it though. IBM/Tivoli does provide what they call
a 'Connect Agent' to be used with Oracle's RMAN to work with ADSM. Sort of
similar to ADSM OBSI by BMC. You are right, there are ADSM 'commands' to
send data to ADSM servers (dsm module commands). What I am trying to find
out is when RMAN 'channels' are directed to disk, how does ADSM module come
into play. Do we direct the data to a local disk first and then ADSM picks
it up from there? Or the ADSM Connect Agent for RMAN adds more functionality
to the allocation of 'channels' so that the data is transferred from data
files to ADSM.
Thanks.
