Ian,

You need TDP installed on all target nodes, however you don't need TDP installed on the node where the catalog resided. Also, you need only one tdpo.opt per node, but don't need one for the catalog ('cos TDP will not be installed there).

We have always used the default of "adsmorc" for TDPO_FS.

You can run RMAN from the target servers, I guess this is the usual approach for most folks. However, you can also run RMAN from a central server (so all backups are scheduled centrally) and connect to all targets over the wire via TNS.

I'm trying to use RMAN and TSM to backup multiple databases spread across various nodes with some nodes hosting more than one database. The RMAN catalog database will reside on a node different from any of the nodes hosting the other databases. I have long used ADSM without the RMAN clothing to backup the databases. I have convinced the SA's to move on to TSM, and now I need to add the RMAN adornments.

I assume I need the SA's to install TDP for Oracle on all the nodes requiring RMAN backup. Do I also need to install it on the machine which will host the catalog database. That database will undergo cold backup using "naked" TSM. The same question applies to the tdpo.opt file. Do I need multiple TDPO_FS values and multiple tdpo.opt files to hold them.

I am also assuming I will start RMAN from one of the databases requiring backup and connect also to the RMAN catalog. Is this typical.
