Hi,

Our Oracle DBAs are doing restores with RMAN, and some are working and
others are just hanging. In nwadmin, I can see the browse sessions from 
the clients, but they just stay there and nothing starts to recover, with
no tape mounts pending. 

We seem to have tracked it down to this:
If we do an Oracle backup and then a restore straight away, it works, as
the tape is mounted. If we try to restore from a backup taken a few days
earlier, it just hangs, without any tape mounts pending. No errors occur,
everything (nwadmin and rman) just sit there.

Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this, so it mounts the correct
tapes? How can I find out more about what's happening? There are no errors
in the daemon.log or messages file, everything seems to be in order.

Cheers,
Gavin.
