Hello.

We're using NB 3.2 on machines running Solaris 2.6.  The oracle database is 
also on a Solaris machine.  We've run RMAN backups on other machines fine, 
but this one we just set up and is erroring out.

As far as NetBackup is concerned, the backups complete successfully.  The 
datafiles we tested were 42Meg and 41248Kbytes were written.  The number of 
KBytes written each test is exactly the same and exits with status 0, but 
RMAN sends an error message.

We've not tried a restore yet.

Running backup via RMAN on Oracle 8.0.6 database.  Getting the
following

>error from RMAN:
>RMAN-00569: ================error message stack

In the dbclient log, if appears to be writing to tape but fails on the
close of the tape:

As always, help is appreciated.

Thanks.
