I have noticed that the "parent" oracle backup (ie Full or
Differential-Inc) backup, that actually runs the RMAN .sh script, will
sometimes fail with an error 6.  Looking into the logs, I notice that I
get an Oracle error that basically says: "Cannot gain sole ownership of
Control File, failure."  The "Default Application Backup" will run later
will a success, status 0.  But the fact that the parent fails with error
6 gets on my nerves.  I've talked to my Oracle DBA about this, and he
says it's correct, and I'm to expect it from time to time.  I *really*
wish that Netbackup would regulate that job to queued until the control
file is ready.l

Subject: [Veritas-bu] RMAN backups - incomplete streams


Hi All,

I find it strange, say a RMAN backup has 3 streams, 2 of them complete
and one of them does not appear et all. The backup would still show up
as complete. The reasons like commn failure e.t.c. are logged in the
dbclient. 

The RMAN catalog displays backup error but the veritas catalog backup is
success.

I have logged a support request and we are working towards resolving
such errors. Would be great if the list can help me.

Regards
BIJU KRISHNAN
