Thanks to quick view. It will be SBT. I change my RMAN script and run but error

RMAN> run {
2> allocate channel stb1 DEVICE TYPE sbt PARMS 'SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/bin/lin_taped';
3> backup ( database include current controlfile );
4> }

Your MML is not install or has a wrong configuration.
error 3970 comes from the MML, see its documentation to know its meaning.

Ok before looking into MML configuration do you have "libobk.so" files in your ORACLE_HOME?

Hi babu ,

Thanks to reply, I could not find file "libobk.so" at $ORACLE_HOME . Tape library installed before oracle software.

Ok then you can create one soft link from your media manager lib

Example:

ln -s /vendor/lib/oracle_lib.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.soo

Or rather:

ln -s /vendor/lib/oracle_lib.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so
