Earlier this year I ran into a problem configure RMAN automatic channels for use with NetBackup.

http://www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/03-2007/msg00707.html

It seems the solution is rather simple.

This command works:

configure channel device type 'sbt'   parms="BLKSIZE=1048576,ENV=(NB
_ORA_CLIENT=ordevdb01,NB_ORA_POLICY=ORA_test_ts03,NB_ORA_SERV=rsysnbu,NB_ORA_SCHED=OracleBackup)";

This command does not work:

configure channel device type 'sbt'  parms="BLKSIZE=1048576,env=(NB_ORA_CLIENT=ordevdb01,NB_ORA_POLICY=ORA_test_ts03,NB_ORA_SERV=rsysnbu,NB_ORA_SCHED=OracleBackup)";

Actually both commands execute properly.  The problem occurs when trying to make a backup.

If the 2nd configure command is used, any attempt to backup with the automatic channel
will result in an ORA-27209.

Do you see the difference in the 2 commands?

The one that works has ENV in uppercase, while it is 'env' in the non-working one.

This must be an issue with the Veritas MML, as this problem does not occur when
using the dummy tape interface.

The case of ENV does not matter when making backups to disk.

Lower case 'env' worked in 5.1 MP3, but does not work as of MP5 (don't know about MP4)

Not documented anywhere, at least not in official docs.
