I have read a couple of white papers, checked docs and did a glance on Metalink, but I am having little luck. DB is 8172 on Solaris 7 Here is what I'm getting: RMAN> run 2> { 3> allocate channel a1 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms="blksize=1048576"; 4> } RMAN-03022: compiling command: allocate RMAN-03023: executing command: allocate RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03007: retryable error occurred during execution of command: allocate RMAN-07004: unhandled exception during command execution on channel a1 RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-19554: error allocating device, device type: SBT_TAPE, device name: ORA-19557: device error, device type: SBT_TAPE, device name: ORA-27209: syntax error in device PARMS - unknown keyword or missing = RMAN-10031: ORA-19624 occurred during call to DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.DEVICEALLOCATE Thanks -- ..
