I have configured an oracle rman backup on a Windows 2003 64bit cluster. I am 
using netbackup 5.1 mp6 client and a windows 2003 netbackup 51 server.The 
oracle agent licenses are installed. The attempt to run the backup by 
specifying the script successfully connects to the database and rman catalog 
server but fails with the following error. 
 
RMAN-03009: failure of allocate command on SBT_TAPE1 channel at 12/13/2006 
17:15:37
ORA-19554: error allocating device, device type: SBT_TAPE, device name: 
ORA-27211: Failed to load Media Management Library
 
I have not stopped the oracle services and re-started them as instructed in the 
installation guide as i cannot do this easlily as the server is 24 hours. Is 
sthis step necessary to get the backup to work? What will stopping oracle 
accomplish for a netbackup client agent point of view?
 
Also, when i open Backup, Archive and Restore on the client I cannot see the 
oracle database.
 
THanks for help.
