ORA-19511: non RMAN, but media manager or vendor specific failure, error text:
The NMDA error message has been lost. Set NSR_DEBUG_LEVEL to a value greater than 0 and run NMDA. * RMAN script
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS 'ENV=(NSR_SERVER=NetWorker-server,NSR_DATA_VOLUME_POOL=Pool1,NSR_GROUP=Group-name,NSR_CLIENT=Client-name,NSR_DEBUG_LEVEL=9,NSR_DPRINTF=TRUE)';Cause
Pool mismatch. The pool defined in the client's workflow/action/pool is different from the pool defined in the NSR_DATA_VOLUME_POOL in the RMAN script.
Resolution
Replace the pool in the backup workflow/action/pool attribute to match the pool defined in the RMAN script. This change can be done from:
- NetWorker Web User Interface (NWUI)

- NetWorker Management Console (NMC)
Additional Information
NOTES:
1) The RMAN script does not have a default location. The script is saved to a location of the Oracle DBA's choosing.
2) By default, the RMAN log is saved to the directory where the RMAN command was run.
