Can anyone help with the error messages I'm grtiing from my oracle dba's 
attempt to run Rman backups tiot tsm uping the TDP.

ORA-19506: failed to create sequential file, name="HRMP11292000HRMP.270.1.bkp", 
parms=""

ORA-27006: sbtremove returned error

Additional information: 4110

Additional information: 1

I had the dba open this as a problem to Oracle and this was their response:

***************************************************************************************

These types of errors deal with linking problems of the MML.

Title: ORA-19506: FAILED TO CREATE SEQUENTIAL FILE, USING ADSM TO BACKUP TO 
TAPE.

A search on metalink will retrieve some bulletins on some well known linking 
issues with various MML providers (Veritas, Legato, etc..), and those are 
typically useful but somewhat generic.

Oracle Supports Rman's ability to successfully backup to disk. If there exists 
a problem backing up to tape the MML vendor should be contacted fot those 
issues.

I called the ct to discuss the issue.

They have been successfully backing up to tape for months.

This machine is logically divided up into several different logical nodes and 
the target and catalog reside on different nodes. So, this may be a linking 
issue (as is typical in this situation).

The ct states that his libobk is linked to the one provided byt the vendor.

He can contact them to ensure that it is linked correctly etc...

*****************************************************************************

So they're claiming its a TYM issue.

I'm able to backup a normal TSM client no problem.

So I insist to the DBA's its in the RMAN setup which I have no control over and 
he doesn't know very well.

anyone?
