Hi. We are running a rather back level collection of TSM software and are hitting a problem with backing up one of our databases. We have an RS6000 S80 running several Oracle databases and a TSM Server, (note: it wasn't my idea to put the TSM server on the same server as the databases and this is getting rectified at the next upgrade). The smaller databases (up to ~200gb in size each) backup without problems but the largest database (800gb) fails.
The backup tends to fail doing a level 0 incremental (i.e. full) backup of the database through RMAN via the TDP. There are no errors in the TSM activity log, the dsierror.log or the dsmerror.log for that time period. In the activity log it appears that sessions just stop coming in from the Oracle backup and after a short pause start coming in for the next database backup. There are no errors indicating either a communication timeout, i/o error or a lack of mount points. The backup (last time) had been running happily for 2 hours before it failed. The TSM server also backs up a couple of large Domino servers and another smaller Oracle server over a gigabit lan without problems. The backup used to work perfectly until the DBAs upgraded Oracle on the server from 8.1.6.2 to 8.1.7.0. They had a few problems with the upgrade and ended up having to rebuild the RMAN database on that server. Has anyone had this sort of problem or knows anything that can shed some light on it? The error obtained is as follows: RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03015: error occurred in stored script backup_db_level_0 RMAN-03006: non-retryable error occurred during execution of command: backup RMAN-07004: unhandled exception during command execution on channel tape1 RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-00447: fatal error in background process RMAN-10031: ORA-19583 occurred during call to DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.BACKUPPIECECREATE The software in the environment is as follows: AIX 4.3.3 ML8 Oracle 8.1.7.0 TSM Server 3.7.4.0 TDP for Oracle 2.1.0.9 Regards Tim -- Tim Hempstead, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unix Technical Specialist SchlumbergerSema _________________________________________________________ This email is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
