RMAN with HP SureStore DAT40i (part no. C5686A)
681111Jan 21 2009 — edited Feb 3 2009Dear all,
I would like to use a tape streamer, an HP SureStore DAT40i, a SCSI-3 device, for Oracle backups to tapes. I'm looking for an adeguate Media Manager Library to employ.
I tried to use Oracle Secure Backup and I would really like to find out a solution to drawbacks I've met. Here is RMAN output (unfortunately it's in Italian, but error codes are shown):
------------------------ Beginning ------------------------
RMAN> run {
2> allocate channel oem_sbt_backup type 'sbt_tape' format '%U';
3> backup as COMPRESSED BACKUPSET current controlfile tag '01212009034618';
4> restore controlfile validate from tag '01212009034618';
5> release channel oem_sbt_backup;
6> }
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03009: errore del comando allocate sul canale oem_sbt_backup in 01/21/2009 15:50:03

ORA-19511: ? stato ricevuto un errore dal layer del gestore supporti, testo dell'errore:
sbt__rpc_connect: Internal error - could not connect to obproxyd (Oracle Secure Backup error: 'timeout on ping/connect (FSP Inter Process Communication functions)').
------------------------ End ------------------------
Actually, if someone can help me in finding a solution to this, I would very happy, otherwise I thought to use HP OpenView Storage Data Protection, instead, but I don't know anything about this software and I don't know how time-consuming making it properly work might be. Does anybody know whether this tool will solve my back up issue?
Thank you,
cheers,
