Enabling Log Deletion after an Oracle RAC Backup

When backing up archive logs, by default the logs are not deleted after the backup operation. Use the following steps to enable deletion of logs soon after the backup.

From the CommCell Browser, navigate to Client Computers | <RAC Client> | <Instance>.
Right-click the <Subclient>, and then click Properties.

On the Content tab, select one of the following options to delete logs:

Option	Deleted archived Redo logs
Archive Delete	Select this check box to delete the archived logs that were backed up in the subclient. Note: The Commvault software inserts the DELETE INPUT command into the generated RMAN script. This only deletes the specific copy of the archived re-do log for the chosen backup set.
Archive Delete All	Select this check box to delete all backed up archived redo logs from all the archiving log destinations. Note: The Commvault software inserts the DELETE ALL INPUT command into the generated RMAN script. This deletes each backed up archived re-do log file from all the archive log destinations.
