Can not backup with RMAN

64 bit Thank you

I already create link libobk.so in $ORACLE_HOME/lib and modify nsrnmo.

I 've new install nw nmo 4.2 on solaris but it has an error about can not allocate channel. I changed 'send' to 'parms' in rman script then it has more error not support this command. Please help me.
This environment is:
Oracle Server 9i on Solaris 10, NMO version 4.2

32bit or 64bit?

It seems you have not done the library linking properly. Please check. If the link is visible, you can run the following script to check if the linking is OK -

connect target user/password@{database};
connect rcvcat user/password@{recovery catalog};
run {
set command id to 'abc';
allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE'
parms 'ENV=(NSR_SERVER={backup server},NSR_DATA_VOLUME_POOL=Default)' ;
allocate channel t2 type 'SBT_TAPE'
parms 'ENV=(NSR_SERVER={backup server},NSR_DATA_VOLUME_POOL=Default)' ;
release channel t1;
release channel t2;
}

The output of this should have reference to NMO. Another way to test is to run the command sbttest which is probably in Oracle bin folder. run- sbttest {filename} - {filename} is a small text file. If there is any backup happening, the link works good.

I assume you have tested the backup of local file system from this machine. Also, you can refere the installation guide for library linking command.

Did you run the test script I mentioned, it works properly with parms. I have used this on Soalris as well as Linux.

I still feel you are not linking the library properly. Can you detail the steps you are takin for configuring this module.

Suwat, as you can see all suggestion are headed towards linking problem. So check it out. If you have no knowledge of it then I would suggest to talk to support first.

Make sure you have linked your lib file to the media manager.

Example for AIX:
$ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.a

libobk.a -> /usr/lib/libnwora64.a

I used command 'parms' it has this error I think this command not support in this oracle version.

This is the procedure I follow and have been pretty successful. check if you are doing the same -

1. Remove any existing libobk.* or libnwora.* library files. No such library should exist in any of the default directories or in any directory specified in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, $LIBPATH or $SHLIB_PATH.
2. Log in as root on the Oracle server host.
3. Locate the Oracle module software on the CD ROM.
4. Enter the command ¿
Pkgadd ¿d /dir_pathname LGTOnmo.
5. Install the Oracle module in the same path as Networker Client software. To do this on a non-default location, enter the parameter basedir as ask in /var/sadm/install/admin/default file.
6. Link the Networker module for Oracle library file
a. The library files should be installed in /usr/lib or /usr/shlib folders.
b. Log on as ORACLE_HOME owner.
c. Shut down all Oracle instances that use this ORACLE_HOME(Not required for Oracle 9i & above).
d. Create the symbolic link as per the version in use ¿
1. cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib.
2. ln ¿s /usr/lib/libnwora.so libobk.so.
e. Restart all ORACLE_HOME instances.
7. Configure the nsrnmo script to be used as backup command located in the folder where Legato Networker binaries are located. For multiple databases(using multiple ORACLE_HOME), configure multiple scripts with different name as per the parameters ¿
a. Mandatory ¿
i. ORACLE_HOME ¿ Oracle home for the database to be backed up.
ii. PATH ¿ Location of nsrnmostart script of Legato Networker Module.
8. On the Networker Server, create a client ¿
a. Save Set ¿ path of the script.
b. Backup Command ¿ nsrnmo script.

Did you install the module (Windows) and did you relink the library (UNIX)?

I don't see much difference in scripts except that Anuj's script assumes you have catalog database which you don't. Once you made sure you have relinked correct library (64bit) make sure that library is recognized by system (on Solaris you can use crle to set path).

I don't believe the problem is with script as otherwise you get dofferent kind of error by RMAN - so I still see that library as suspect. Try to relink it again and see what happens. Also, make sure you this opened with both Legato and Oracle (eg. if you are in hurry to address that issue asap).

Someone told me I creates libobk.so not correct (I created libobk.so under $ORACLE_HOME/lib) so he suggest to create link libobk.so under path $ORACLE_HOME/lib64 I will try to check again is it has lib64 on next monday. Thank you so much everyone.

If you follow install instructions you won't go wrong.
