My two cents: I do not think it is an ADSM problem.
I have had the same error on Oracle 8.0.3.4 on HP-UX 10.20 and Oracle 8.0.3.2 on
Sun Solaris 2.6.

Under /adsmorc directory I have had the files appear to be backed up even though
RMAN "failed"

It only seems to fail on HUGE Db's in my situation.  We have several machines
working with this same code.
So are the files there or not? q fi says yes they are so what gives?

The dsierror.log has never been generated for any of these of situations...The
COMMTIMEOUT definitely does not work...
I have a PMR open about this issue...

Brandon...


Check your dsierror.log for error's and the sbtio as well. The clue is in
the 'retryable error occurred....'. Just as a matter of interest, what is
your current COMMTIMEOUT ?

Please supply more info on your server/client environment.

Might be time to turn on client tracing also.

Gary
