Unable to allocate channel device type sbt

968353Oct 15 2012 — edited Oct 18 2012
Hi,

This is my first post on this forum so please advice me if I do something stupid.

This oracle instance is version: 11.2.0.1
Running on RHEL 5.6

So, my problem is that I can't allocate sbt channel/device to crosscheck archivelogs.
We are using Symantec's Backup Exec to manage your backups, and by looking it's log's (attached below) this should work. What I'am missing?

Command I'm trying to run:
RMAN> allocate channel for maintenance device type stb;
...
ORA-27211: Failed to load Media Management Library
...

I have check't the libobk.so is link'd from $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so -> VRTSralus/bin/libobk.so.


BE's log:

RUN {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch0
TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
SEND '**************';
BACKUP
INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0
FORMAT 'BE_U'
DATABASE FORCE PLUS ARCHIVELOG FORCE NOT BACKED UP DELETE INPUT;
BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE
FORMAT 'BE_U';

RELEASE CHANNEL ch0;
}

connected to target database: PROD

using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ch0
channel ch0: SID=3987 device type=SBT_TAPE
channel ch0: Symantec/BackupExec/1.1.0

sent command to channel: ch0
....

-----
Thanks for your help
Kalle

P.S. Moved from General questions to RMAN
