RMAN reports latest backup pieces as Expired
Hi, RMAN reports latest backup pieces as expired, I have configured the retention policy as follows:
RMAN>configure retention policy to recovery window of 30 days.
I take weekly full backup of database including archivelogs using rman. On month end I delete the archive logs from rman by giving the command to remove the previous one month old archivelogs from the disk.
RMAN>delete archivelog until time 'sysdate-30';
Kind help is highly appreciated,
thanks,

Hi, I take backup on both disk and tape. The backup on disk is deleted by giving solaris operating system command (rm *) in the backup directory. The deletion is done weekly before taking full rman backup.
Iam maintaining 4 tapes to maintain one month rman backup. I delete the backup sets on disk due to less space. I can keep only 1 week backup set on my disk.
thanks for response,

Hi,
But why RMAN is showing the backup files as Expired now. Previously everything was ok. I used to follow the same procedure, like deleting the backup files from the disk using OS command and then taking full Rman backup, everything was ok.
thanks,

Hi,
Yes, I have executed the Crosscheck command
RMAN>CROSSCHECK BACKUP COMPLETED BEFORE 'SYSDATE';
then only Iam seeing the backup pieces as expired eventhough the latest backup files are physically present on disk.
RMAN>LIST BACKUP OF DATABASE
COMPLETED BETWEEN SYSDATE and SYSDATE-30;
this command displays nothing, but when I give
RMAN>LIST BACKUP OF DATABASE;
I get the backup list which shows the backup pieces status as expired.
thanks,
