Jim,

What release of the connect agent are you using -- you may want to verify on
the web site that you have all of the ptf's.  We encountered something
similar (not exact) and had to apply the new ptf's.  The current release did
fix our problem with tape device errors.

Good Luck --

Subject: ADSM AIX EBU connect agent and Oracle RMAN first time errors

We've been running ADSM Server 3.1.2.42(AIX),and the following adsm(aix)

We are attempting to now use the ADSM EBU Connect agent with Oracle RMAN
