The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Online Backup to tape using RMAN gets hung

Asked by aprao in Oracle Database

Tags: rman

Hi,
After installation of LSM software on Tru64Unix 5.1a as per the documentation aND LINKING LIBRARIES, we have started oracle instance, mounted and opened database.

Also we enetered environment variable ORACLE_SID=tcl

Then we ran backup to disk using RMAN and was successfully completed.

 

 rman command to backup one datafile to tape, the command as follwows:

rman target / catalog rman/rman@prod debug trace=/oracle/log

rman>run { allocate channel sbt type 'sbt_tape';

backup datafile 1;

}

But when we executed the above command, series of message appears and then hang. Nothing further proceeded. I have inserted new tape into teh tape drive, but still not solved.It seems there is no communication establish between RMAN and TAPEdrive.

I have pasted log message below for your information.

Can any one tell me the solution how to resolve the problem.

Shall be extremely grateful if you could help us to resolve the problem .

We are using Oracle 8.1.7.0 and O.S.. is Tru64Unix 5.1A on Compaq ES45 Server.

Thanks and full regards
