after runing my rman backup script

[Yogeeraj_1]

hi,

The backup piece RMAN is trying to create is exceeding the current 2GB limit.

You can overcome this limitation by either allowing the file system to accept larger files:
E.g.

# umount /filesystem
#/usr/sbin/fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg00/rlvol9
# mount /filesystem


OR
You can also try to modify your script as follows:

rman target / nocatalog <run {
allocate channel c1 type disk format '/u02/oradata/backup/df_%d_%U_%p_%c'.bak' ;
allocate channel c2 type disk format '/u03/oradata/backup/df_%d_%U_%p_%c'.baK' ;

set limit channel c1 kbytes=750000;
set limit channel c2 kbytes=750000;
backup database ;
backup
current controlfile
tag = cf1
format '/u03/oradata/backup/cf_%u.%p';
}
exit
EOF

Please check and revert back.


hope this helps!

Quite simply, your backup file exceeded 2 GB on a filesystem not enabled for large files.

If you have onlineJFS the above instructions work.

11.00 instructions:

backup the target filesystem.

umount the fs.

newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles

in /etc/fstab

change the nolargefiles parameter for the fs to largefiles.

mount /fs

leave out the fstab changes in 11.11(11i).

Hi,
and the other error is this:

'/u02/oradata/backup/df_%d_%U_%p_%c'.bak' ;
^^^^

there is an even number of --'-- that is causing the DOT error.
