Hi TSMmer, I'm facing the problem about TDP for oracle. Last weeks I installed software and already tested them. They are work correctly. But today, I faced the problem and there is error during rman trying to access SBT_TAPE. I have issued tdpoconf utility, it still working correctly. So I have traced back about my system and found that someone has installed the new fileset (hageo, cluster). By the way, I have removed them and test rman again. The problem still appeared. I don't sure what something which I missed. Finally I have upgraded the TDP for oracle from 5.2 to 5.3.3. The problem is remained. How do I know that rman call libobk.a or not? Because the error message is same when I have remove $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.a file.
