PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance 5.15.0.0 Oracle RMAN User Guide

Only the Administrator role can manage the asset sources.

PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance removes the specified asset source in the Asset Sources window.

Any associated assets that are protected by the protection policy are removed from the protection policy and their status is changed to deleted. These assets are removed automatically as part of daily PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance cleanup after all associated backup copies have been deleted. These assets can also be removed manually. The PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance Administrator Guide provides details on how to remove assets from PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance.

In the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance UI, to list the assets with the deleted status, use the appropriate filter option.

The copies of assets from the asset source are retained (not deleted). You can delete the copies from the copies page, if required.

For an asset that was previously protected by PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance, regular compliance deletion runs until all the backup pieces are expired.

Existing backup copies that were generated before the client was added to PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance are not deleted from the PowerProtect DD storage unit. To delete the Application Direct backup pieces, you must run a regular stand-alone ddutil command:

ddutil -k -b <begin_time> -e <end_time> -R -z <DD_host>:/<storage_unit>

To delete the Oracle Incremental Merge backup pieces that were generated before the client was added to PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance, use the ddutil command according to instructions in the PowerProtect Oracle RMAN Agent Administration Guide (for the stand-alone Oracle RMAN agent). In that guide, refer to the "Oracle Incremental Merge operations" section and the topic about using the ddutil command to list and delete the backups.

For backup copies that PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance generates, PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance performs deletion of the copies based on the specified retention.

In the both cases, the backup administrator must perform the catalog cleanup by using the RMAN maintenance commands, such as the crosscheck and delete expired commands.
