Your database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, and you're trying to perform an
inconsistent backup. This is not possible. You should read the Oracle
documentation about backup and recovery for an explanation; the error
you're encountering is not a TSM error.

It's important that you understand the basics of Oracle backups, otherwise
you might be unpleasantly surprised when you need to restore something.
