Sure, too much distance between oracle versions / BA Client version and the TDP version. Try backing down the BA Client and associated API to 5.2.2 and see what happens. You're trying backup a version of Oracle that's too old, using a BA Client (and more than likely the API) that's too new. I've used the 5.2.2 client on a 5.5 server but it's very unsupported. Suggestions would include upgrading oracle and OS.
But, just guessing based on what I see so far, I'd point to the spread in versions between the 5.2.2 TDP and 5.5.2 BA client (you don't mention the version of API). You *may* be able to install the BA Client and associated API into separate directories just to support the TDP and have the 5.5.2 client to support file backups, but not being familiar with Sun and its install methods I can't be sure of that. (for example the 5.2.2 stuff in /opt/tivoli/tsm/522/ and the 5.5.2 stuff in a /opt/tivoli/tsm/555/ directory) See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16! -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Mario Behring Sent: Saturday, January 23, 2010 10:40 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] RMAN error allocating TDP channel....
