Did you check the setting of the maxscratch on the tapepool, and then check to see how many tapes are in use?

But not really! Has anyone encountered the subject message? We saw it today in a Oracle RMAN backup... what I think happened is, at the time the backup script started, there was not enough space in the ORACLE_DISK pool, nor in the ORACLE_LTO2 pool which is next in the heirarchy. Other sessions of the same job were still working, and we added scratches and ran a migration while this backup job was still running. The script terminated much later, I think when the other sessions finished... but why couldn't it recover and use the newly available disk space or scratch tapes? There isn't a whole lot of detail in the TDP manual about how server space gets reserved and allocated... but it seems from experience that TDP looks for enough space to hold the entire full backup. Can anyone confirm this? TIA Robin Sharpe Berlex Labs
