When I run the rman script the databases come down properly but then it goes into a sleep mode. No errors show up anywhere. I can't tell if RMAN is handing off to Tivoli. The passwords do sync so they are talking. I have triple checked: dsm.opt, tdpo.opt, dsm.sys
A large portion of my RMAN script. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. # # change name of ifilecbo.ora mv /home/oracle/rman/remote_init_files/initVIS.ora /home/oracle/rman/remote_init_files/initVIS.oraTMP # alter cbo file entry in init.ora sed -e 's|?/dbs|/home/oracle/rman/remote_init_files|g' /home/oracle/rman/remote_init_files/initVIS.oraTMP > /home/oracle/rman/remote_init_files/initVIS.ora diff /home/oracle/rman/remote_init_files/initVIS.oraTMP /home/oracle/rman/remote_init_files/initVIS.ora # Process command-line args . /home/oracle/recmgr.env TargetConnStr=internal/oracle@vis RcvcatConnStr=rman/rman@recmgr # need to do some parameter validation here! ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/rman << EOF connect target internal/oracle@vis connect rcvcat rman/rman@recmgr run { shutdown immediate; startup mount pfile=/home/oracle/rman/remote_init_files/initVIS.ora; allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape'parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/home/oracle/tdporacle/tdpo.opt)'; allocate channel t2 type 'sbt_tape'parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/home/oracle/tdporacle/tdpo.opt)'; backup filesperset 5 format 'df_%t_%s_%p' (database); release channel t1; release channel t2; alter database open; } exit EOF if [ $? -ne 0 ] then echo "RMAN database backup failed" else echo "RMAN database backup OK" fi All the logs are empty. Is there a live RMAN script example to see what I might be missing. In various documents I have seen a statement done different ways. Example: backup database; backup (database); backup; How do I know which is correct or if any are correct? The RMAN script works fine when I backup to disk, it just dosen't seem to talk to the agent.
