Rman

[netbar]

I have an rman script below:

connect rcvcat rman/jifVufs@RCATSSI
connect target internal/internal;
run {
shutdown immediate;
startup nomount;
sql 'alter database mount';
allocate channel d1 type 'DISK';
backup full
tag full_offline_backup
format '/u01/backup1/offline_db_%d_%t_%s_%p'
(database include current controlfile);
release channel d1;
sql 'alter database open';
}

I get the error below:

RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-19554: error allocating device, device type: DISK, device name:
ORA-27001: unsupported device type
Additional information: 1
RMAN-10031: ORA-19624 occurred during call to DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.DEVICEALLOCATE


when I query V$backup_device

the only entry is SBT_TAPE. I normally only backup to tape but now I want to back up to disk. what I am doing wrong?


Thanks in advance..

Change

allocate channel d1 type 'DISK';
to 
allocate channel d1 type disk;
