RE: RMAN error code

Drake,

We also back stuff up to tape and periodically issue commands to purge old backups. My commands look like:

RMAN>
RMAN> allocate channel for maintenance type 'SBT_TAPE';

2> 
3> change backuppiece 415933 delete;                           
4> change backuppiece 415934 delete;                           

So, you should be able to delete backups from tape.

Tom

Hi Mahesh,

Yes, I allocated the channel properly beforehand. I agree that this is likely a problem with the media library; I'll have to meet with our TSM administrator to see if there are any problems on the tape end...

Thanks,
Drake
