RMAN-03009: failure of allocate command on ch00 channel at 03/06/2015 10:50:26
Good day!
Our client is using Netbackup 7.5 and for the database, Oracle version 11.2.0.4.0.
He is experiencing this error.
RMAN-03009: failure of allocate command on ch00 channel at 03/06/2015 10:50:26
ORA-19554: error allocating device, device type: SBT_TAPE, device name:
ORA-27211: Failed to load Media Management Library
Additional information: 2
I tried looking for documentation regarding this issue but the links won't open.
What exactly is the problem and how should I solve it?
Thanks in advance!
We are not talking about a tape library.
We are talking abount Oracle library-files that determine if backups are made to disk or a third-party backup application. This is called 'sbt_tape' in Oracle.
Please go through the 'linking' section of the manual and work with your Oracle dba.
He/she will know what to do.NBU for Oracle Admin Guide for UNIX, Windows, and Linux http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC3672
Chapter 2 - Linking the Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) with NetBackup for UNIX and Linux platformsAlso have a look at my post in this discussion:

PS:
Please also go through Chapter 1 - Introduction of this manual.
You will see a diagram on page 16 - Figure 1-1 where the interaction is explained.
