First thing is I don't mean to sound like a smartaX%, but has the free trial expired?
1.) Are you trying to run two rman backup streams, i.e. allocating two channels?. I know on some trial versions you can only allocate one channel. 2.) Is this Oracle 8 or Oracle 9? What o/s? 32 or 64 bit? 3.) If Oracle 8 please double check to see that the Oracle backup library is still linked from $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so to /usr/lib/libobk.so to /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/libobk.so. I don't know why they'd be unlinked, but just in case. 4.) Look at your rman script make sure it's pointing to the correct tdpo.opt file. 5.) Also check the Unix file/modes permission's on the tdpo.opt files as well as the permission's in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin directory structure. (/usr/...*) if AIX. 6.) Check the nodename your using, see if the nodename in the dsm.opt file for Oracle can authenticate into the tsm server: "dsmc q ses -server=tdpo_server_stanza" 7.) Also check to see that the tdpo software can authenticate into the tsm server: tdpoconf password This is all assuming it's running on a Unix client system? If you run through these suggestions and everything looks good. Let me know and I'll try to help you further.
