Just went through this on a TDP Informix install....check the DSMERROR.LOG
file. The new 5.3 client REQUIRES a write-able error log
location. If you have ERRORLOGNAME specified in the DSM.SYS, remove it and
add a DSM_LOG environment varilable for the user.

Goran -

I'm no RMAN expert, but it looks to me like you managed to configure
it to back up to local disk, rather than to the TSM server via the SBT
API.  From what I understand, your messages should have like "allocate
channel t1 type 'sbt_tape'".  Have a look at the redbook "Backing Up
Oracle using Tivoli Storage Management" for background.
And do a 'df' on your AIX system to look for a full disk.  An RMAN
expert will probably post more.
