Problem with RMAN and TAPE on AIX [message #264852]

Hi.
Somebody can help me to form a TAPE so that it works with RMAN?

The problem is the following one:
I have a TAPE (TS3100 - IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive) the AIX visualizes it like /dev/rmt1; this TAPE works correctly using commandos of the S.O to make Backups (tar -cvf /dev/rmt1 /test it's OK).

But, since I can do so that in the RMAN it recognizes it as a TAPE (sbt_tape)?

for example: run{
allocate channel t1 device type sbt;
backup tablespace test;
}

it leaves the following message:

using target database controlfile instead of recovery catalog
RMAN-00571: ================================================
RMAN-00569: ========== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =========
RMAN-00571: ================================================
RMAN-03009: failure of allocate command on t1 channel at 09/04/2007 16:18:27
ORA-19554: error allocating device, device type: SBT_TAPE, device name:
ORA-27211: Failed to load Media Management Library
Additional information: 2

Some Idea?

This is exactly what I need to know:
- It is necessary to install something, but (the TAPE already is recognized by the Operating system).
- Somebody has experience with this type of TAPE (TS3100)?
- Oracle has some generic Liberia for them TAPE.
