    Failed to backup database to tape using RMAN and LSM! but can backup

    By the way,can someone tell whether or not I have to register LSM ?I 'm using the LSM inside the Oracle CD.

    Make sure that you have configured the LSM properly. The RMAN seems to have troble in allocating a tape channel.

    Subject: RMAN: Unable to Backup to Tape on NT Without ORASBT.DLL Using Legato; ORA-19511

    Problem Description
    -------------------

    When attempting to backup to tape with the bundled Legato Storage Manager (LSM)
    you are getting the following error stack on NT platforms;

    RMAN> run {
    2> allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape';
    3> backup format 'db_&s_%p' database;
    4> }

    RMAN-03022: compiling command: allocate
    RMAN-03023: executing command: allocate
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

    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-19511: SBT error = 4110, errno = 0, BACKUP_DIR environment variable is not s
    et
    RMAN-10031: ORA-19624 occurred during call to DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.DEVICEALLOCATE


    Solution Description
    --------------------

    To fix this problem verify that ORASBT.DLL is in the subdirectory for legato,
    (root:\win32app\nsr\bin or root:\Program FIles\nsr\bin) and the NT directory
    (root:\winnt\system32) This file must exist in both directories or you will
    get the above error stack.


    Explanation
    -----------

    This is similar to soft linking on unix in article 102819.1 and bug 1252142.

    Question

    There is already a orasbt.dll in c:\winnt\system32 but no one in c:\win32app\nsr\bin.

    After have put a orasbt.dll in c:\win32app\nsr\bin, the same error messages.

    Don't I have to reboot the os or db or other things after copy the orasbt.dll?

    1.reboot os is unusefull,the problem remains the same.



    2.I have sovled the problem with the information in the below article,the key is the PATH:




    Error Message : Error allocating device, (Insure that orasbt.dll)


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Applicable Products
    NetWorker (all platforms)
    Oracle Windows NT (Intel) 4.0
    On NT 4.0 with any service pack
    Oracle 8.1.6

    Error
    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:

    RMAN-10031: ORA-19624 occurred during call to DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.DEVICEALLOCATE


    Cause
    PIn order to backup using NMO, Oracle should be linked to our module. To link Oracle with our module we should reboot the NT box. Oracle will search for a library called orasbt.dll. Oracle must find this library in the system path to link with our module.

    This indicates that our NMO module is not linked properly with Oracle. Try the simplest script to just creates a channel using SBT_TAPE device. An example is some thing like this:

    run { allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms 'ENV=(NSR_SERVER=aiman.legato.com;NSR_DATA_VOLUME=Oracle)'; release channel t1; }

    This is enough for the test. Set the environmnet variables to those in your customer site.

    To be sure that orasbt.dll is linked to Oracle. Try to delete it will give you errors if it is linked to Oracle. Try something like this:

    C:\Program Files\nsr\bin>del orasbt.dll
    C:\Program Files\nsr\bin\orasbt.dll
    Access is denied.


    Solution
    1- Insure that orasbt.dll is installed and only one copy is active in the system. Usually it is in the program files \nsr\bin or in C:\win32app\nsr\bin. In the same directory libnwora.dll is located as well. 2- Insure that Networker binaries are earlier in the path on the system path. This will insure that Oracle could find the orasbt.dll at the beginning of the path. There is a problem with Oracle in finding the orasbt.dll if there is a space in the path. This is reported in escalation LGTpa28232 ( see comments below ). The solution is to move Networker bin directory to the beginning of the path.

    Additional Information
    BugID: LGTpa28232

    COMMENTS: From the above escalation:

    After some investigation it has been determined that, any space preceeding or proceeding the NetWorker PATH, will cause this behaviour.

    Invalid Path Examples:
    %SystemRoot%\system32;...; C:\Program Files\nsr\bin;...
    %SystemRoot%\system32;...;C:\Program Files\nsr\bin ;...


    Valid Path:
    %SystemRoot%\system32;...;C:\Program Files\nsr\bin;...
