Hi all,
      Doing a TDP for Oracle AIX first time implementation.  (Oracle 9i;
AIX
5.2, TDP 5.2.0)   Install went well, TDPOCONF PASSW & SHOWENV successful.
First
attempt at an RMAN backup produced the following RMAN error:

RMAN-03009: failure of allocate command on ch00 channel at 08/11/2005
13:10:23
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: 106: For future use
Additional information: 7011
ORA-19511: Error received from media manager layer, error text:
   SBT error = 7011, errno = 106, sbtopen: system error

However, nothing was logged in the TSM log I specified in TDPO.OPT
dsmi_log
parm.  That seemed odd so I changed the permissions on the log to 666,
and then RMAN backups started working.  (Lucky shot in the dark).   Now
getting
same error on recovery.   Despite what the content of the error message
says, my
problems seem to be related to file ownership and / or permissions on the
client.  However, I can find nothing in the installation guide that helps,
nor
are there any recent hits in IBMLINK.    Any suggestions??     Thanks.
