Block Corruption

[sanga]

Hi Guys

Iam using 8.1.7 and rman catalog is also same version as the target database.

Iam taking a Backup using Rman thru Veritas Netbackup, when I look at the database backup I find that rman reports that there is one Block corruption when the backup is taken, when I look into the catalog.

I find in the target database that particular block is not used.

How do I avoid using the corrupt block in the database or is there any precaution I need to take

Thanks,

Metalink says..

An error on an UNUSED Oracle block can be ignored as Oracle will create a new block image should the block need to be used so any existing problem on the block will never get read.

See this doc for details.
