    easy RMAN question

    I'm learning RMAN to see if it's something we should utilize at my company. I accidentally entered the following at the command line:
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DIS FORMAT 'E:\ORA92\ORADATA\RMAN\';

    I meant to specify DISK instead of DIS - which is a typo on my part. Now though I can't get rid of the channel DIS. It has to be easy to do, but I can't seem to figure it out. When I go to use RMAN now... I get error ORA-27001: unsupported device type. I do have another channel configured just fine... but the DIS channel seems to be taking precedence.

    Thanks for any pointers.
