I'm working with a client and we are in the preliminary stages of doing a level
0 backup of the Oracle database but we cannot get passed this one RMAN error
that seems to point to a failure of Veritas Media Manager, not being able to
mount a tape and write to it. This is really standard stuff for NBU and
Oracle. I'm wondering if it is simply a syntax error or if there is something
wrong with the library itself. I've included the lines in the level 0 script
-called "coldbackup.sh" and the lines from the RMAN-out file that is generated
each time a level 0 backup is initiated.

RMAN-00571: ====================================================
RMAN-00579: the following error occurred at 06/20/2003 15:56:59
RMAN-03007: retryable error occurred during execution of command: allocate
RMAN-12004: unhandled exception during command execution on channel ch00
RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-19554: error allocating device, device
type: SBT_TAPE, device name:
ORA-19557: device error, device type: SBT_TAPE, device name:
ORA-27211: Failed to load Media Management Library
Additional information: 25
RMAN-10031: ORA-19624 occurred during call to DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.DEVICEALLOCATE
The Netbackup logs don't reveal much other than the fact that the job
completes with a Status 1 (partially successful) but in fact, no tape is
mounted and no data is written. Could it possibly be they have not allocated
any tapes in the Oracle pool? I did not check that out before leaving the site.
Cheers.
