Donald,

With Oracle 8.1.x all you need to do to use a third party media management
library
is to set that link.  You have the link set correctly, so Oracle should be
using
the TDP for Oracle library file.  You didn't by chance run the make command?
You might want to give Oracle support a call and ask why it is using the
test disk
library file, when the link has been changed.

James,

On our system the library is libobk.so

Here is the output from the find / -name libobk.a -exec ls -l {} \; command

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         43 Feb  1 09:28 /usr/lib/libobk.so ->
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/libobk.so
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     other     135260 Apr 18  2000
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/libobk.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 oracle   dba           18 Feb  8 11:55
/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/lib/libobk.so -> /usr/lib/libobk.so
cannot open /proc/4552/fd/6: No such file or directory
cannot open /proc/4552/fd: No such file or directory

The links correct. What are the last two lines though?

There was nothing returned from the find / -name libobk.a -exec what {} \;
command

Thanks Again

I always like the command

find / -name libobk.a -exec ls -l {} \;
and
find / -name libobk.a -exec what {} \;

The first searches for all occurences of libobk.a and lists them in long
format so
that you can see if your links are correct.  You should rename Oracle's
libobk.a disk
library file.

The second makes sure that the libobk.a is the right version.

All you need is a soft link in the Oracle directory to /usr/lib/libobk.a
which should in
turn point to the tsm directory where the TDP for Oracle library file
resides.

Subject: Linking RMAN to ADSM


I am trying to set up RMAN 8.1.6 to communicate with ADSM/TDP. At one point
I was able to do an RMAN tablespace backup to tape and then was also able to
do a restore. Now when I try to get a tape backup it goes to disk.  In the
RMAN output it tells me it is using the Oracle Test Disk API. There are
other errors, but I suspect that this is the problem. I have tried shutting
down the databases and removing the soft link and relinking (soft).
One thing I noticed when I do :
ldd oracle|grep libobk.so
I get nothing back. Shouldn't I be seeing something here?
Also can anyone explain what the BACKUP_DIR environment variable?

Thank You
