RMAN error code

RMAN error code

Drake,

We also back stuff up to tape and periodically issue commands to purge old
backups.  My commands look like:

RMAN>
RMAN> allocate channel for maintenance type 'SBT_TAPE';          
2>
3> change backuppiece 415933 delete;                          
4> change backuppiece 415934 delete;                          

So, you should be able to delete backups from tape.

Tom

Hi Mahesh,

Yes, I allocated the channel properly beforehand. I agree that this is
likely a problem with the media library; I'll have to meet with our TSM
administrator to see if there are any problems on the tape end...

Thanks,
Drake
