RMAN backup is failing to allocate channel
785878Jul 30 2010 — edited Aug 2 2010Hi guys,
I'm trying to backup an oracle 11gR2 to tape and I'm getting an error when trying to allocate the channel in the rman script. I'm using a catalog to do this backup and the script is created by the application that is managing the backups (BrightStor ARCserve Backup Universal).
Here is the script detail:
run {
allocate channel dev1_1 device type sbt format '%u_%p_%c'
parms='SBT_LIBRARY=/opt/CA/BABoraagt/libobk64.so,ENV=(MASTER_JOBID=119,SBT_PARMS=172.21.228.15;GROUP1;07-07-10 14:55;30DAYARCHORA;<NULL>;SUMMARY;FALSE;FALSE;<NULL>;<NULL>;FALSE;0;0;5;0,DUMMY_JOBID=35,MASTER_PID=30414,CANCEL_SBT=1048584,SVR_VER=12)';
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all delete all input;
release channel dev1_1;
}
I'm getting this error only in this server (which is running a Redhat 5.5). The environment variables seams just similar to other servers that are running just fine.
Any clues? Thanks in advance for the help.
