Eric,

A return code 2534 should be referenced in the TDP Oracle manual -
probably as ANS2534. Anyways, 2534 is an options file error. However,
there should have been created a file called tdpoerror.log. This file get
created in the local directory (what ever happens to be local for Oracle).
I just ran a quick test and found that to be
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/tdpoerror.log. In the tdpoerror.log you should see the
exact reason for failure. Hope this helps.

Subject: TDPO 5.2 error 2534

Hi *SM-ers!
We are testing TDP for Oracle 5.2 on AIX 5.2 with Oracle 9i.
We configured everything by the book, but when we try to run a backup we
receive the following error:

RMAN> backup
2>   incremental level = 0
3>   tag inc0
4>   filesperset 5
5>   (database include current controlfile);
Starting backup at 01-JUL-03
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of backup command at 07/01/2003 15:30:24
ORA-19554: error allocating device, device type: SBT_TAPE, device name:
ORA-27000: skgfqsbi: failed to initialize storage subsystem (SBT) layer
IBM AIX RISC System/6000 Error: 2534: System call error number 2534.

I know that error 2534 is a TDPO return code, but where can we find the
explanation of those return codes?
Both log files (dsierror.log and sbtio.log) are empty...
Thanks in advance!!!
